A new o-nitrobenzyl photocleavable linker for solid phase synthesis

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(97)10084-3

A new photolabile linker, 7, was synthesized in high yield from commercially available starting materials. Irradiation of polymer supports containing 7 produced the desired amino acid and sugar products in high yields. The utility of 7 was demonstrated through the synthesis and photocleavage of a branched trimannan from a polymer support.
