Product Description
Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-Opfp is a premium-grade amino acid derivative widely used in peptide synthesis. This protected lysine variant ensures high coupling efficiency and minimal side reactions, making it a staple in research labs and pharmaceutical development. The Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) protecting group allows for orthogonal deprotection strategies, while the Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) group safeguards the side chain during synthesis.
Whether you’re working on solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) or solution-phase chemistry, this reagent delivers consistent results. Its pentafluorophenyl (OPfp) ester activation enhances reactivity, reducing the need for excessive coupling agents. Researchers trust Merck’s rigorous quality control, ensuring batch-to-batch reliability for critical experiments.

Applications of Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-Opfp
This versatile reagent finds applications in:
- Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)
- Solution-phase peptide assembly
- Protein engineering and modification
- Bioconjugation chemistry
- Drug discovery and development
Why This Reagent Stands Out
The combination of Fmoc and Boc protection offers unique advantages. The Fmoc group is base-labile, allowing mild deprotection conditions, while the Boc group remains stable under these conditions but can be removed with acid. This orthogonality is crucial for complex peptide sequences. The OPfp ester further enhances reactivity, making it ideal for challenging couplings.
Merck’s manufacturing standards ensure low levels of impurities, which is critical for sensitive applications like therapeutic peptide production. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for identity, purity, and functionality, giving researchers confidence in their results.
Handling and Storage
Store Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-Opfp at -20°C in a desiccated environment to maintain stability. Avoid exposure to moisture, as hydrolysis can compromise the reagent’s effectiveness. When handling, use standard laboratory safety practices, including gloves and eye protection.
Risk Note
This product is for research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Handle with care in a well-ventilated area. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed hazard information.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-Opfp?
