Fmoc chloride is widely used in peptide synthesis amino acid derivatization medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis for the preparation of protected amino acids and peptides.

The purpose of Fmoc chloride is to protect amino groups during peptide synthesis and other organic synthesis reactions preventing unwanted side reactions.

Fmoc chloride (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride) is an organic reagent used to introduce the Fmoc protecting group onto amino groups.
