This chemical is primarily used in the field of peptide synthesis. It serves as a protected amino acid derivative, enabling the controlled construction of peptide chains. The fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) and tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) groups act as protective groups for the amino functionalities, preventing unwanted reactions during synthesis. This compound is particularly valuable in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), where it ensures precise and sequential addition of amino acids. Its application is crucial in the production of peptides for pharmaceutical research, drug development, and biochemical studies, allowing for the creation of complex peptides with high purity and specificity.
