Fmoc-L-Lys(Nvoc)-OH

Published on 04/10/2018

o-Nitroveratryloxycarbonyl (Nvoc) is a photocleavable side chain protecting group for lysine that can be removed by irradiation with UV light (350 nm).

Nvoc is orthogonal to common SPPS conditions, and allows for the selective deprotection of certain lysine epsilon-amino groups for further functionalization or photocaging experiments.

Removal of the Nvoc protecting group by UV light.
