Fmoc-(S)-3-Amino-4-(4-iodo-phenyl)-butyric acid is widely used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The Fmoc group serves as a protective group for the amine functionality, allowing for controlled and sequential peptide chain elongation. The presence of the iodo-phenyl group makes this compound valuable for introducing aromatic and halogenated motifs into peptides, which can be crucial for studying peptide-protein interactions or developing peptide-based drugs. Additionally, the iodine atom can be utilized in further chemical modifications, such as cross-coupling reactions, to create more complex structures. This chemical is also employed in the development of labeled peptides for biochemical and pharmacological research, enabling the study of biological pathways and receptor binding mechanisms. Its application extends to the synthesis of peptidomimetics and bioactive molecules with potential therapeutic properties.
