This compound is primarily used in the field of peptide synthesis as a building block. It serves as a protected amino acid derivative, where the fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group acts as a protective group for the amine functionality. This allows for controlled and sequential addition of amino acids during solid-phase peptide synthesis, a key method in producing peptides for research and therapeutic applications. The furan moiety in its structure can also be utilized in further chemical modifications or as a handle for conjugation in bioconjugation chemistry. Its application is crucial in the development of peptides with potential use in pharmaceuticals, biochemical studies, and drug discovery.
