What is Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH?

Chemical properties

White solid

The Uses of Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH

Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH is a very useful synthetic intermediate. It is used to prepare Trp containing-peptides.

The Uses of Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH

Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH can be used for the synthesis of analogs of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and various peptides by Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).

General Description

The use of this N-in-Boc protected derivative overcomes most of the problems associated with the preparation of Trp containing-peptides by Fmoc SPPS [1]. Cleavage with TFA generates an N-in-carboxy indole which protects the Trp from alkylation [1, 2, 3] and sulfonation [1, 4, 5, 6, 7]. The N-in-carboxy group is removed under aqueous conditions during normal work-up of the peptide.

The product number for this product was previously 04-12-1103.
