This chemical is primarily used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methods. It serves as a protected amino acid derivative, where the Fmoc group acts as a temporary protecting group for the amine functionality, while the benzyl (Bzl) group protects the hydroxyl group of serine. The N-methylation of serine enhances the stability and modulates the conformational properties of the resulting peptide. It is especially useful in the synthesis of complex peptides and peptidomimetics, where selective protection and deprotection strategies are crucial. Its application is common in pharmaceutical research, drug development, and the production of bioactive peptides.
