L-Alanine, N-[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]-, ethyl ester

Description:

L-Alanine, N-[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]-, ethyl ester is a chemical compound that serves as a protected form of the amino acid L-alanine, commonly used in peptide synthesis and organic chemistry. This compound features a fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protecting group, which is widely utilized for the protection of amino groups during peptide synthesis due to its stability and ease of removal under mild conditions. The ethyl ester functionality enhances the solubility of the compound in organic solvents, making it suitable for various synthetic applications. The presence of the Fmoc group allows for selective deprotection, facilitating the incorporation of L-alanine into larger peptide chains. This compound is typically characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a central carbon backbone, an amino group, and the aforementioned protective and ester groups. Its properties, such as melting point, solubility, and reactivity, are influenced by the presence of these functional groups, making it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
