This compound is widely used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). It serves as a protecting group for amino acids, specifically for the Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) strategy. The 8-Aoc (8-aminooctanoic acid) linker provides flexibility and spacing in the peptide chain, which is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of the synthesized peptides. Its application is essential in the production of complex peptides for research, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, where precise control over peptide structure is required. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of peptide-based drugs, diagnostics, and biomaterials.
