A solid phase method to prepare polyethylene glycol linked amino compounds 4 has been developed to support our Chemetics® technology. The key steps of the method were the synthesis of a hetero bifunctional polyethylene glycol linker attached to a 2-chlorotrityl resin (2) and subsequent derivatization of 2 by using a Mitsunobu protocol. For the validation of the polyethylene glycol linked protocol the compound 5 and the conjugated oligonucleotide 6 were synthesised. The ability of 5 to bind to the αvβ3 integrin receptor was investigated in a competition ELISA experiment and compared to known ligands and the conjugated oligonucleotide 6 was used in a selection experiment with an immobilized αvβ3 integrin receptor.
