Yes, the compound dissolves quickly in DMF and DCM, making it compatible with standard coupling chemistries such as HBTU/HATU or DIC/HOBt.
For manual SPPS, a 2–4 h coupling in DMF at room temperature is typical; for automated instruments, double coupling is advised to maximize yield.
Store at 2–8 °C in a dry, inert atmosphere, and re-seal the container tightly after each use. This prevents hydrolysis of the Fmoc protecting group.
No, activation with carbodiimides or phosphonium/uronium salts is required to form the active ester before reaction with the resin-bound amine.
HPLC purity is ≥98.5%, verified by both UV and ELSD detection. A certificate of analysis (CoA) is supplied with each shipment.
Yes, the Fmoc group remains stable at standard microwave SPPS temperatures up to 80 °C, so it is fully compatible with microwave synthesizers.
While many suppliers offer glycine derivatives with only basic purity statements, Fmoc-Gly-OH from Baishixing provides documented batch-specific CoAs, controlled particle size, and inert packaging that extends shelf life to 24 months. For laboratories requiring reproducible peptide synthesis and traceable documentation, this product delivers equivalent analytical performance to major global brands at a more economical price point. It is particularly suited for process chemistry teams who prioritize supply stability, regulatory support, and cost efficiency.
