Fluorous linker facilitated synthesis of teichoic acid fragments

Org Lett. 2012 Feb 3;14(3):848-51. doi: 10.1021/ol2033652. Epub 2012 Jan 20.

Abstract

The use of perfluorooctylpropylsulfonylethanol as a new phosphate protecting group and fluorous linker is evaluated in the stepwise solution phase synthesis of a number of biologically relevant (carbohydrate substituted) glycerol teichoic acid fragments. Teichoic acid fragments, up to the dodecamer level, were assembled by means of phosphoramidite chemistry, using a relatively small excess of the building blocks and a repetitive efficient purification procedure of the protected intermediates by fluorous solid phase extraction (F-SPE).
