General description

Fmoc-Ala-OH also known as Fmoc-L-alanine, is a versatile reagent used in Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis.

Application

Fmoc-Ala-OH is commonly used :
  • as a building block in the preparation of triazolopeptides , and azapeptides
  • in the synthesis of bis-cationic porphyrin peptides using the standard Fmoc solid-phase synthesis
  • to transform Mannich-adducts into α-halogenated amides without undergoing aziridination
