Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH (N-α-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-O-trityl-L-homoserine) is a specialized Fmoc-protected amino acid derivative featuring a trityl (triphenylmethyl) protecting group on the side-chain hydroxyl of homoserine. The homoserine backbone presents an additional methylene unit compared to serine, extending the side-chain length by one carbon atom, which offers unique conformational flexibility when incorporated into synthetic peptides. The trityl protecting group exhibits exceptional acid-lability—cleavable under mild acidic conditions such as 1% TFA in DCM containing 5% TIS—thereby enabling the side-chain hydroxyl group to be selectively modified while the derivative remains attached to the solid support during solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).
Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH is widely recognized as a foundational building block for Fmoc SPPS, particularly valued for its ability to enable selective side-chain modification of homoserine residues. The trityl group in Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH can be selectively removed with 1% TFA in DCM containing 5% TIS, allowing the side-chain hydroxyl to be modified while the peptide chain remains anchored to the resin. Additionally, Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH has been successfully employed in the preparation of oligonucleotide conjugates, demonstrating its versatility beyond conventional peptide synthesis. For researchers working with homoserine-containing peptides or seeking to incorporate selectively modifiable hydroxyl side-chains into their synthetic targets, Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH offers a reliable, well-characterized solution supported by extensive literature precedent.

Storage Conditions
Store Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH in a tightly sealed container under inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) at 2–8 °C (refrigerated) for short-term storage or at –20 °C for long-term storage. Keep the container dry, protected from light, 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 should be opened only in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture uptake.
Shelf life: 24 months when stored at 2–8 °C in a sealed container under inert atmosphere. Extended shelf life (up to 36 months) is achievable with storage at –20 °C. Accelerated stability data is available upon request.
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.
Application Scenarios
Fmoc Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS)
As a building block for automated and manual Fmoc SPPS, Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH enables the incorporation of homoserine residues into synthetic peptides. The orthogonal protection strategy allows selective side-chain modification while the peptide remains anchored to the solid support.
Selective Side-Chain Modification
The Trt protecting group in Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH can be selectively removed under mild acidic conditions (1% TFA/DCM + 5% TIS), exposing a free hydroxyl group for subsequent functionalization—enabling the synthesis of peptides with tailored side-chain modifications, including phosphorylation, glycosylation, and PEGylation.
Peptide–Oligonucleotide Conjugate Synthesis
Fmoc-Hser(Trt)-OH has been successfully employed to prepare oligonucleotide conjugates, demonstrating its utility in the synthesis of therapeutic peptide–nucleic acid constructs for antisense, siRNA delivery, and diagnostic applications.
Glycopeptide and Phosphopeptide Synthesis
The homoserine side-chain after Trt deprotection provides a free hydroxyl that can be functionalized with carbohydrate or phosphate groups, enabling the synthesis of structurally defined glycopeptides and phosphopeptides for studying protein glycosylation, signal transduction, and disease mechanisms.
