Product Description
Fmoc-Phe(4-No2)-Oh is a high-quality protected amino acid derivative widely used in peptide synthesis. This compound features the Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) protecting group, which is essential for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The nitro group at the para position of the phenylalanine side chain adds unique chemical properties, making it valuable for specialized research applications.
Whether you’re a student working on a lab project or a researcher developing novel peptides, this reagent ensures reliable coupling efficiency and minimal side reactions. The 25g pack size is ideal for small to medium-scale experiments, providing enough material for multiple synthesis cycles without excessive waste.
When you buy Fmoc-Phe(4-No2)-Oh online from eqipped, you get a product that meets stringent quality standards. Our supply chain ensures that you receive authentic Merck chemicals with proper documentation, so you can focus on your research without worrying about reagent purity.

This compound is particularly useful in the synthesis of modified peptides where the nitro group can serve as a handle for further chemical modifications. Researchers in medicinal chemistry often use such derivatives to study structure-activity relationships or to create peptide-based therapeutics with enhanced properties.
The Fmoc protecting group is base-labile, allowing for selective deprotection under mild conditions. This characteristic makes it compatible with standard SPPS protocols using piperidine in DMF. The nitro functionality also provides opportunities for post-synthetic modifications through reduction to an amine or further elaboration via nucleophilic aromatic substitution.
For educators demonstrating peptide synthesis techniques to students, this reagent offers a practical example of how protecting groups work in organic synthesis. Its distinct chemical properties make it an excellent teaching tool for advanced organic chemistry courses.
