Fmoc-Gly(Propargyl)-OH is a Fmoc protected glycine derivative useful for proteomics studies and solid phase peptide synthesis techniques. Glycine is the simplest, and least sterically hindered of the amino acids, which confers a high level of flexibility when incorporated into polypeptides. This unusual amino acid can be used in Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) as: (1). a precursor to the tritium-induced Norvaline peptides; (2). in the synthesis of branched peptides using a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction; (3). as a reagent in the dual-catalyst Sonogashira coupling reaction.
