This compound is widely used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methods. It serves as a protected amino acid derivative, where the FMOC (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) group acts as a temporary protecting group for the amino functionality during the synthesis process. The benzoyl group on the phenylalanine side chain provides additional stability and specificity in certain peptide sequences. Its application is crucial in the production of custom peptides for research in biochemistry, drug development, and molecular biology. The compound’s ability to facilitate precise and efficient peptide chain assembly makes it a valuable tool in the synthesis of complex peptides and peptidomimetics.
