Fmoc-DL-2-Aminobutyric acid（CAS# 174879-28-8)

Fmoc-DL-2-Aminobutyric acid（CAS# 174879-28-8) introduction

N-Fmoc-2-aminobutyric acid, also known as N-(9-hemandryl)aminobutyric acid, is an organic compound. The following will describe its properties, uses, manufacturing methods and safety information:

Quality:
N-Fmoc-2-aminobutyric acid is a white to light yellow solid with properties that are readily soluble in organic solvents. It is an acidic compound that can form salts and has a phenyl protecting group (Fmoc) that can be removed under acidic conditions.

Use:
N-Fmoc-2-aminobutyric acid is widely used in peptide synthesis in organic synthesis. Its phenyl protecting group can protect the amino group during synthesis to avoid non-specific reactions. In the process of peptide synthesis, N-Fmoc-2-aminobutyric acid is often used as a synthesis intermediate for the construction of peptide chains, and after synthesis, the desired aminobutyric acid can be obtained by removing the phenyl protecting group.

Method:
The preparation of N-Fmoc-2-aminobutyric acid is generally achieved by introducing a phenyl-protecting group (Fmoc) into 2-aminobutyric acid. The specific steps involve reacting 2-aminobutyric acid with Fmoc-Cl (the chloride of the Fmoc group) in a suitable solvent to generate N-Fmoc-2-aminobutyric acid, and then undergoing an appropriate purification step to obtain the target product.

Safety Information:
N-Fmoc-2-aminobutyric acid is a chemical that requires safety precautions during use. It can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract and requires the wearing of appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, protective eyewear, and masks when operating. The compound should be stored and handled away from ignition and high temperatures to avoid contact with combustibles. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
