N-alpha-t-Butyloxycarbonyl-N-epsilon-[1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohex-1-ylidene)-3-methylbutyl]-D-lysine

Building block with side protection orthogonal to Fmoc/tBu strategy. Can be used for side specific derivatization, for example for TFA mediated in situ cyclization, which is taking advantage of intermediate aspartamide formation.
