The product Fmoc-Lys(Mtt)-OH (Nα-Fmoc-Nε-4-methyltrityl-L-lysine, CAS 167393-62-6) is a specialized lysine derivative incorporating two orthogonal protecting groups. The molecule features the standard amino acid lysine backbone, with the α-amine protected by the base-labile 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group, and the side-chain ε-amine protected by the very acid-sensitive 4-methyltrityl (Mtt) group. This orthogonal protection strategy creates a powerful synthetic tool: the Fmoc group is cleaved under mild piperidine conditions (standard in Fmoc SPPS), while the Mtt group can be selectively removed under extremely mild acidic conditions (as low as 1% TFA in DCM) without affecting the Fmoc group or other standard protecting groups such as tBu or Boc.

Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH (N-α-Fmoc-N(in)-Boc-L-tryptophan) is a dual-protected tryptophan derivative featuring Fmoc protection of the α-amino group and a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group on the indole side-chain nitrogen. Tryptophan residues present a well-documented challenge in Fmoc SPPS: the unprotected indole NH is susceptible to alkylation, oxidation, and the formation of unwanted colored by-products during coupling and deprotection steps.

Fmoc-Arg(Pbf)-OH (Nα-Fmoc-Nω-(2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl)-L-arginine, molecular formula C₃₄H₄₀N₄O₇S) is an N‑Fmoc‑protected and side‑chain‑protected derivative of the basic amino acid arginine, specifically designed for use in Fmoc solid‑phase peptide synthesis (Fmoc SPPS). Structurally, the molecule consists of a 9‑fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group attached to the α‑amino nitrogen, and the guanidino side chain protected by the Pbf (2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl) group.

The product Fmoc-Hcys(Trt)-OH (Fmoc-L-homocysteine(Trt)-OH, CAS 167015-23-8) is a specialized Fmoc-protected amino acid derivative of the uncommon amino acid L-homocysteine (Hcy). Structurally, the molecule consists of a standard amino acid backbone with a four-carbon chain terminating in a thiol group, but unlike cysteine, the side chain is extended by one additional methylene group. The thiol group of homocysteine is protected by the very acid-labile trityl (Trt) group, while the α-amine is protected by the standard base-labile 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group.

Fmoc-D-Thr(tBu)-OH (N-[(9H-Fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]-O-tert-butyl-D-threonine, molecular formula C₂₃H₂₇NO₅) is an N‑Fmoc‑protected and side‑chain‑protected derivative of the non‑natural D‑enantiomer of the polar amino acid threonine. Structurally, the molecule features the 9‑fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group attached to the α‑amino nitrogen via a carbamate linkage, with the hydroxyl group of the threonine side chain protected as a tert‑butyl ether (tBu). The Fmoc group provides orthogonal N‑terminal protection for Fmoc solid‑phase peptide synthesis (Fmoc SPPS) and is cleaved under mild basic conditions (20% piperidine in DMF) without affecting the acid‑labile tBu side‑chain protecting group.

Fmoc-Asp-OtBu (Nα-Fmoc-L-aspartic acid α-tert-butyl ester) is an orthogonally protected derivative of L‑aspartic acid, widely regarded as a fundamental building block in Fmoc solid‑phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Structurally, the molecule features a central L‑aspartic acid scaffold: the Nα‑amino group is protected by the base‑labile 9‑fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group, while the α‑carboxylic acid is selectively esterified as a tert‑butyl (OtBu) ester. This orthogonal protection strategy leaves the side‑chain β‑carboxylic acid free, enabling it to serve as the point of attachment to the solid support or the C‑terminal residue of the growing peptide chain during SPPS.
