Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-Phe-OH is a protected dipeptide used in peptide synthesis. It includes an Fmoc (Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) group protecting the N-terminus, preventing unwanted reactions during assembly. The Thr (Threonine) residue is protected at its hydroxyl side chain with a tBu (tert-butyl) group, safeguarding it from side reactions. Phe (Phenylalanine) is the second amino acid in the sequence, contributing aromatic properties. The -OH at the C-terminus indicates a free carboxyl group, allowing for further peptide coupling. This compound is used to introduce threonine and phenylalanine residues into peptides, with specific protections in place to allow for controlled synthesis.
