This chemical is primarily used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). It serves as a protected amino acid derivative, where the fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group protects the amine functionality, and the diphenyl(p-tolyl)methyl (Dpm) group protects the side chain amine. This dual protection ensures selective deprotection during peptide chain assembly, allowing for precise control over the synthesis process. Its application is critical in the production of complex peptides and proteins for research, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, enabling the development of therapeutic agents, vaccines, and diagnostic tools.
