FMOC-D-BETA-HOMOALANINE(CAS# 201864-71-3) introduction
(3R)-3-[[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]amino]butyric acid (FMOC-D-BETA-HOMOALANINE) is an amino acid derivative. The following is an introduction to its properties, uses, manufacturing methods and safety information:
Quality:
- Appearance: White or off-white solid
- Average particle size: ~200 microns
Use:
- It is often used as a protecting group in peptide synthesis to protect end group amino acids.
Method:
THE PREPARATION STEPS OF FMOC-D-BETA-HOMOALANINE ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Fluorene methyl chloride (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethyl chloride) was prepared by reaction using fluorene methanol (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethyl chloride) as the starting material.
THE PREPARED FLUORENYLMETHYL CHLORIDE IS REACTED WITH THE D-β-HYDROXYALANINE GROUP TO GENERATE FMOC-D-BETA-HOMOALANINE.
