Fmoc-Amox, A Novel Reagent for Fmoc-Protection

Published on 27/03/2018

The most common reagent for the Fmoc-protection of amino acids is currently Fmoc-OSu, followed by Fmoc-Cl. However, the use of these reagents is usually accompanied by several side reactions, such as the formation of beta-alanine and dipeptides.

Fmoc-Amox, A Novel Reagent for Fmoc-Protection

Iris Biotech presents Fmoc-Amox as an alternative to common Fmoc-protection reagents. This product was inspired by the successful coupling reagent OxymaPure, and follows the same principle as an OxymaPure active ester.
