An enzyme cleavable linker is prepared on which organic compounds are synthesized when the linker is bound to a solid phase. The linker contains a functional group on which a synthesized organic compound is bound when synthesis takes place, and a recognition site for a hydrolytic enzyme. Reacting the linker with the enzyme causes the linker to fragment at a site different from the recognition site to liberate the synthesized organic compound. The solid phase may be a crosslinked polyacrylamide containing an amino group for attaching the linker, and the linker is bound to the solid phase via a spacer. The spacer is attached to the solid phase by an ester, ether, amide or amine linkage, or a sulfide or phosphate linkage. In a specific reaction of forming a solid phase containing the linker, 2-acetoxy-5-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid is attached to an amino group-containing polymer via a spacer followed by conversion to a chloroformic ester.
A composition comprising a solid phase bound to an enzyme cleavable linker on which synthesis of an organic product takes place;
A process for preparing a composition comprising a solid phase having a bound enzyme cleavable linker on which synthesis of an organic product takes place, said linker containing a functional group to which a synthesized product is bound when synthesis of the product takes place, and a hydrolytic enzyme recognition site and a fragmentation site different from the recognition site such that the linker is fragmented at the fragmentation site upon reaction of the recognition site with a hydrolytic enzyme to release a synthesized product from the linker without the product containing any of the linker, said composition having formula I
