This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a protecting group for glutamic acid. The Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) group safeguards the amino group, while the OFm (fluorenylmethyl) ester protects the carboxyl group, allowing selective reactions at other sites. It is particularly valuable in solid-phase peptide synthesis, where controlled deprotection is essential for building complex peptide chains. Its application ensures high efficiency and precision in producing peptides for pharmaceutical research, drug development, and biochemical studies. Additionally, it is useful in creating peptide-based materials and bioactive molecules.
