Used in peptide synthesis as a protected amino acid derivative, it facilitates the sequential assembly of peptides by allowing selective deprotection and coupling. The Boc group protects the amino terminus, while the Fmoc group protects the amino group of the valine residue, ensuring precise control during the synthesis process. This compound is particularly valuable in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), where it helps create complex peptides with high purity and yield. It is also employed in the development of pharmaceuticals, bioactive peptides, and research tools for studying protein interactions and functions.
