This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a protected amino acid derivative. It serves as a building block for constructing peptides with specific sequences, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group protects the amino group, while the tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group protects the hydroxyl group, ensuring selective reactivity during the synthesis process. Its application is crucial in the production of peptides for research, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, enabling the development of therapeutic peptides, hormones, and other biologically active molecules. The compound’s protective groups are removed under specific conditions, allowing for precise control over peptide chain assembly.
