Used in peptide synthesis, particularly in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methods. It serves as a building block for introducing the D-cyclohexylglycine (D-Chg) residue into peptides. The Fmoc (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) group protects the amino group during synthesis, ensuring selective reactions. This compound is valuable in creating peptides with specific structural and functional properties, often employed in drug development, biochemical research, and the study of peptide-protein interactions. Its application is critical in designing peptides with enhanced stability, bioavailability, or targeted activity.
