Abstract: The present invention relates to an ionic liquid based support of Formula-I: wherein: X+ is a heteroatom containing cationic part; W is a halogen containing polymeric solid support; n is an integer in the range of 2 to 8; Y is a hydrophobic anion; R is selected from CO—Z or Z; Z is selected from the group consisting of —Cl, —Br, —OH, —O-Alkyl and combinations thereof. The present invention also relates to a process for preparation of said ionic liquid based support used for di, oligo or polypeptide manufacture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for preparation of peptides having amino acid chain length in the range of 2-40 comprises the steps: i) attaching an end-blocked amino acid with an ionic liquid based solid support in presence of an ionic solvent to obtain an end-terminal blocked amino acid attached ionic liquid; ii) removing end-terminal blocking agent from the end-terminal blocked amino acid attached ionic liquid of step i) followed by work up to obtain an amino acid attached ionic liquid; iii) repeating steps i) through ii) one or more times to obtain a polypeptide attached ionic liquid; and iv) detaching the polypeptide from the polypeptide attached ionic liquid of step iii) to obtain the polypeptide. Said process does not use any auxiliary reagents like dehydrating agent or activating agent. The use of ionic liquids as supports as well as solvents result in the faster kinetics of the process, the separation issues are reduced, and the process has no racemization issues.
