What is the CAS number of Fmoc-Gly-OH?
CAS number is 29022-11-3. This is a standard registry number used for chemical purchasing and regulatory documentation.
How do I dissolve Fmoc-Gly-OH for coupling reactions?
Dissolve in DMF at 0.2–0.5 M with gentle heating (max 40 °C) if needed. DMSO is also an option, but DMF is preferred for standard SPPS.
Is Fmoc-Gly-OH stable at room temperature?
Short-term storage (weeks) at room temperature is acceptable, but long-term stability requires 2–8 °C storage away from light and moisture.
Does Fmoc-Gly-OH cause racemization during coupling?
Glycine lacks a chiral center, so racemization is not a concern. The Fmoc group itself is base-sensitive; avoid prolonged exposure to piperidine beyond standard deprotection steps.
What is the typical coupling time for Fmoc-Gly-OH in SPPS?
With DIC/HOBt activation in DMF, 30–60 minutes at room temperature is sufficient. For hindered resins, use HATU with 10–20 minutes and double coupling if needed.
Can Fmoc-Gly-OH be used for solution-phase peptide synthesis?
Yes, it works in solution-phase reactions using standard coupling agents, though solubility in ethyl acetate may be limited; DMF or dichloromethane with a solubilizing co-solvent is recommended.
What purity grade does this product meet?
Minimum HPLC purity is 99.0%, with free amine content below 0.1%. It is not specifically tested for endotoxins, so it is suitable for research and process development, but not for direct use as a sterile pharmaceutical excipient.
Fmoc-Gly-OH from Baishixing offers a combination of high chromatographic purity and tightly controlled free-amine limits that directly affect peptide assembly accuracy. Compared to generic research-grade reagents with purity ranges of 95–98%, this product provides documented lot-specific data for every batch, making it particularly suitable for laboratories and manufacturers that require reproducible synthesis outcomes and traceable quality metrics. It is a practical choice for peptide researchers who prioritize batch consistency over lower-cost alternatives, and it aligns with the needs of preclinical and clinical-stage drug development workflows where raw material variability is a major risk factor.
