Scheme 1.

Scheme 1

Synthesis of Fmoc-Ddae-OH linker. (A) Reaction conditions previously reported in the literature. (b) Reaction conditions using DCC produced the highest yield, however N, Nā€™ dicyclohexylurea byproduct formation made purification difficult. (c) Reaction conditions with little byproduct formation and high yield consisted of N-Fmoc-amido dPEG-acid, 1.1 eq. dimedone, 1.1 eq. EDC-HCl, 1.1 eq. DIEA and 0.1 eq. DMAP in DCM.
