This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methods. The Fmoc group serves as a protecting group for the amine functionality, allowing for selective deprotection and elongation of peptide chains. Its incorporation into peptides is valuable in the development of biologically active peptides, especially those targeting specific receptors or enzymes. The presence of the fluoro-phenyl group enhances the peptide's binding affinity and stability, making it useful in drug discovery and development. It is also employed in the study of peptide-protein interactions and the design of peptide-based therapeutics for conditions such as cancer, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. Additionally, it finds application in the synthesis of peptide mimetics and probes for biochemical research.
