Used in peptide synthesis, it serves as a protected amino acid derivative, enabling the selective formation of peptide bonds. The BOC group protects the amine, while the FMOC group safeguards the side chain, allowing precise control over the peptide chain assembly. This compound is particularly valuable in solid-phase peptide synthesis, where stepwise addition of amino acids is required. Its dual protection strategy ensures high yield and purity in the synthesis of complex peptides, making it essential in pharmaceutical research and the development of therapeutic peptides.
