TRAM linker: a safety-catch linker for the traceless release of acrylamides.
[reaction: see text] A novel safety-catch linker for the solid-phase synthesis of small-molecule libraries containing electrophilic reactive groups has been developed. Upon cleavage from solid support, the linker generates a Michael acceptor (an acrylamide) on each library member. Utilization of a two-resin system in the final cleavage step provides crude products in high purity, allowing direct use in biological assays following filtration and evaporation.
