Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) is a cornerstone of modern biochemical research, enabling the creation of custom peptides for a vast array of applications. A key element in the success of many SPPS strategies is the use of specialized resins and linkers. Among these, Wang resin holds a prominent position, and its functionality is intrinsically tied to the chemical properties of 4-Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol (CAS 623-05-2). NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recognizes the importance of this relationship and supplies this vital intermediate.

Wang resin is a polystyrene-based solid support that incorporates a 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol linker. This linker is strategically designed to facilitate the attachment of the first amino acid of a peptide chain. The ester linkage formed between the resin-bound linker and the amino acid's carboxyl group provides the necessary stability throughout the multiple steps of amino acid addition and deprotection. The selection of 4-Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol as the linker precursor is deliberate; it strikes a balance between chemical robustness and ease of cleavage.

The critical advantage of the 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol linker in Wang resin lies in its cleavage characteristics. Upon completion of the peptide chain synthesis, the attached peptide can be released from the solid support using mild acidic conditions, typically involving trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). This mild cleavage protocol is essential for preserving the integrity of the peptide, especially those with sensitive functional groups or complex modifications. The resulting peptide typically possesses a free C-terminal carboxyl group, a common and desirable feature for many bioactive peptides.
