N-alpha-(9-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl)-L-aspartic acid alpha-(2-phenylisopropyl ester)

An Aspartic acid building block with free side chain and PP protected alpha-carboxylic acid function. The 2-phenylisopropyl protecting group can be deprotected with 1% TFA in dichloromethane. PP protected amino acids are also less prone towards aspartamide formation. References: C.Yue et al.; Tetrahedron Lett. 1993; 34: 323.
