Multifunctionalized solid support resins for synthesis of combinatorial libraries and method for using the same

Abstract

Multifunctionalized support resin for the solid phase synthesis of combinatorial libraries is disclosed. The support resin comprises a resin backbone to which is attached a template containing at least two more attachment points which carry mutiple functionalized benzyl-type linkers. Each linker displays differing chemical stability under cleavage conditions so that products can be selectively and sequentially cleaved and separated from the reaction vessel. The linkers are independently different benzyl-type moieties, and each product synthesized on the linkers may have a different chemical structure. The support resin may further comprise an additional linker which is directly attached to the resin backbone. This linker can benzyl-type linkers or other traditional cleavable-linkers. The invention is further directed to a method for the production of mutiple combinatorial libraries in a simultaneous fashion utilizing the above described support resin. The products are selectively cleaved under conditions where only one linker site is cleaved so that the product is individually separated from the reaction vessel.
