(S)-N-Fmoc-3-(2-naphthyl) alanine is an Fmoc protected form of alanine. Fmoc protected amino acid is quite useful in the solid phase peptide synthesis. Fmoc can be easily removed with piperidine solution without disturbing the acid labile linker between the peptide and the resin. The Fmoc amino acid is also suitable to be analyzed by HPLC due to its high fluorescent activity. Studies have also shown that (S)-N-Fmoc-3-(2-naphthyl) alanine and related peptides have certain inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus virulence.
white to slightly yellow powder
N-Fmoc-3-(2-naphthyl)-L-alanine is used as organic chemical synthesis intermediate.
