Synthesis of the modified solid supports 8, 9, and 10. Reaction conditions: (a) 1.3 equiv Fmoc-Ala-OBt, Fmoc-Gly-OBt or Fmoc-Ile-OBt, 2.2 equiv Me3P in tetrahydrofuran, 0 °C to rt, 16 h, 74–81%; (b) 5 equiv adipic acid bis(pentafluorophenyl)ester, 1 equiv DMAP in N,N-dimethylformamide/pyridine (1/1, v/v), rt, 1 h, 66–79%; (c) 3 equiv (w/w) amino-functionalized polystyrene support (GE Healthcare, Custom Primer Support™ 200 Amino), 2 equiv pyridine in N,N-dimethylformamide, rt, 22 h, loading: 45–63 μmol/g. Me3P = trimethylphosphine, DMAP = 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine, HOBt = N-hydroxybenzotriazole, Fmoc = N-(9-fluorenyl)methoxycarbonyl.
