Description

General description

High purity Fmoc-protected amino acid for research and process production of peptides, with very low levels of dipeptide, free-amino acids and acetic acid impurities. The standard derivative for Fmoc SPPS of peptides containing Cys ^[1]. The Trt group is removed with 95% TFA containing 1-5% TIS. Ideally, this derivative should be introduced using the symmetrical anhydride or DIPCDI/HOBt activation ^[2,3] to minimize enantiomerization. If activation with uronium or phosphonium reagents, such as HBTU or PyBOP^®, is to be employed, it is strongly recommended that collidine is used as the base ^[4], as this has been shown to significantly reduce loss of optical integrity during coupling.
