Fmoc-Aminohexanoic Acid

Advance your peptide synthesis and medicinal chemistry research with Fmoc-Aminohexanoic Acid (CAS No.: 88574-06-5, CAT No.: SRCF-004). This high-purity amino acid derivative features a 6-aminohexanoic acid backbone protected with a 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group on the amino terminus, making it an essential building block for solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), linker design, and bio-conjugation applications.

With a molecular formula of C₁₉H₁₉NO₄ and a molecular weight of approximately 321.36 g/mol, Fmoc-Aminohexanoic Acid is typically supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder characterized by its excellent purity and stability. It is soluble in common organic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), enabling efficient coupling reactions and synthetic flexibility.
