What is the CAS number of Fmoc-Gly-OH?
The CAS registry number is 29022-11-3, corresponding to the Fmoc-protected glycine structure with molecular formula C₁₇H₁₅NO₄.
Is Fmoc-Gly-OH soluble in DCM?
Yes, it dissolves in dichloromethane at 100 mg/mL with mild heating, but DMF is the preferred solvent for standard coupling reactions.
How should Fmoc-Gly-OH be stored after opening the bottle?
Store it in a tightly sealed container at 2–8 °C under dry conditions, and minimize exposure to moisture and ambient light to prevent Fmoc group cleavage.
What is the recommended coupling time for this compound in SPPS?
With 2.5 equivalents of amino acid and HATU as activator, coupling is typically complete within 30 minutes at room temperature; use chloride salt monitoring to confirm.
Does this product contain any racemization during coupling?
Glycine has no chiral center, so racemization is not a concern; the main quality parameter is free amine content to avoid deletion sequences.
Can I receive a certificate of analysis (CoA) with each batch?
Yes, every batch ships with a CoA covering HPLC purity, water content, residual solvents, and appearance, along with an MSDS.
What is the bulk price per kilogram for pharmaceutical-grade supply?
Pricing depends on quantity and contract terms; contact the supplier for a current quote based on your annual volume and delivery schedule.
Is this product suitable for GMP peptide manufacturing?
It is manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management and can be supplied with additional documentation (e.g., or a CofA) to support non-GMP synthesis; site audits can be arranged for large-scale agreements.
Compared with other Fmoc-glycine suppliers that offer only standard purity with limited batch analysis, Fmoc-Gly-OH from this product line provides a documented impurity profile, low free-glycine content, and flexible bulk packaging that scales directly from laboratory to production. The product is particularly suitable for drug discovery teams and commercial peptide manufacturers that need reproducible quality without the cost of custom qualification. For researchers prioritizing high coupling yields and batch traceability, this Fmoc-Gly-OH offers a practical balance of performance and supply-chain reliability.
