An N-terminal glycodecapeptide fragment of interleukin 2 (1) was synthesize
d by solid-phase method utilizing a new silyl linker. The O-silylated Fmoc-
Thr-OAll was attached to the commercial HMP-resin and peptide chain elongat
ion was performed by Fmoc protocol to produce a protected heptapeptide (3-1
0), which was cleaved from the resin by fluoridolysis and used as the amino
component for further condensation on the solid support. On the other hand
, 6-hydroxyl group of an Fmoc-Thr(GalNAc)-OAll derivative was silylated wit
h the linker and attached to the resin. Deallylation, block condensation wi
th the heptapeptide (3-10), and elongation at N-terminal with two amino aci
ds were performed on the resin. Fluoride ion-mediated cleavage released the
N- and C-protected glycopeptide from the solid support in good efficiency.
Fully deprotected glycopeptide was also synthesized through on-resin deall
ylation and acidic cleavage of the silyl ether linkage. (C) 2000 Elsevier S
