This chemical is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a building block or intermediate. It is particularly valuable in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) due to the presence of the Fmoc (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) protecting group, which is widely used to protect amino groups during the synthesis process. The compound is employed to introduce specific amino acid sequences into peptides, ensuring controlled and precise assembly. Its structure allows for selective deprotection and coupling steps, making it essential in the production of peptides for research, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology applications. Additionally, it may be used in the development of peptide-based drugs, diagnostics, and biochemical tools.
