Fmoc-3,3-Diphenylalanine is a sterically hindered Fmoc-protected unnatural amino acid featuring two phenyl rings attached to the β-carbon of the alanine backbone. Structurally, the molecule comprises a fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group protecting the α-amino functionality, a central chiral alanine-derived framework, and a geminal diphenyl substitution at the 3-position (Cβ). This unique 3,3-diphenyl substitution creates a highly congested structural motif with significant steric bulk around the side chain, imposing conformational constraints on the backbone when incorporated into peptides.
Fmoc-3,3-Diphenylalanine (Fmoc-L-Ala(3,3-diphenyl)-OH) is a modified amino acid derivative that delivers distinctive rigidity and steric bulk to peptide sequences, making it particularly valuable for studying conformational constraints and protein‑protein interactions. The 3,3-diphenyl substitution of Fmoc-3,3-Diphenylalanine enhances peptide stability against proteolytic degradation and induces predictable folding patterns, a property that has been exploited in the design of β‑turn mimics and other secondary structure-inducing elements. Fmoc-3,3-Diphenylalanine is an alanine derivative with diverse applications in peptide synthesis, structural biology, drug development, and materials science. The Fmoc protecting group on Fmoc-3,3-Diphenylalanine allows selective deprotection strategies, making this compound indispensable for solid-phase peptide synthesis where orthogonal protection schemes are required

Storage Conditions
Store Fmoc-3,3-Diphenylalanine at 2–8 °C in a tightly sealed container, protected from light and moisture. Keep the container dry and stored in a clean, well‑ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and sources of ignition. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions and is not classified as a combustible solid (Storage Class 13 — Non‑Combustible Solids). Allow the sealed container to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
Shelf life: 2–3 years when stored at 2–8 °C in a sealed container under recommended conditions. Accelerated stability data and long‑term stability summaries are available upon request to support customer quality documentation.
Handling precautions: Use in a fume hood. Wear chemical‑resistant gloves (tested against EN 374 or equivalent), safety goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid generating dust or aerosols. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. After handling, wash hands thoroughly. Contaminated clothing should be removed and washed before reuse. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety information.
Product Quality Assurance
Cosperpharm has established a comprehensive quality assurance system for Fmoc-3,3-Diphenylalanine that meets the rigorous expectations of both research and commercial peptide manufacturing applications:
