This compound, known as Fmoc-3-amino-4-methoxybenzoic acid, is a protected derivative utilized primarily in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group acts as a protecting group for the amino functionality, enabling selective reactions and easy removal under mildly basic conditions without disrupting the growing peptide chain. The 4-methoxybenzoic acid moiety enhances solubility in organic solvents, facilitating efficient coupling during peptide bond formation. It is widely used in pharmaceutical production, synthesis of bioactive peptides, and research applications for peptide modification and sequencing.
