N-alpha-(9-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl)-O-2-chlorotrityl-L-tyrosine

The Clt (2-chlorotrityl) protecting group can selectively be removed by treatment with 1% TFA in dichloromethane and silane scavenger. The partially deprotected amino acid can be used for further derivatization, like phosphorylation, sulfonation, PEGylation, or conjugation with glycol building blocks or dyes.

The Trt group can be removed with 1% TFA in dichloromethane (silanes as scavengers) while tBu-type protecting groups stay intact. Resin bound Hse(Trt), Ser(Trt), Thr(Trt), and Tyr(Clt) are versatile building blocks for on-resin side chain modifications, like phosphorylation, sulfonation or PEGylation. References: 1.
