This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methods. It serves as a protected form of arginine derivative, where the Fmoc (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) group protects the amino group, and the Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) groups protect the guanidine side chain. This protection strategy allows for selective deprotection during the synthesis process, ensuring the correct sequence and structure of the peptide. It is especially useful in the synthesis of complex peptides and proteins, where precise control over the addition of amino acids is critical. Additionally, it finds applications in the development of peptide-based drugs, biomaterials, and research tools in biochemistry and molecular biology.
