Fmoc-2-Nal-OH (CAS: 158690-74-3) is a specialized Fmoc-protected derivative of 2-naphthylalanine. Synthesized via solid-phase peptide synthesis coupling, it features the molecular formula C24H21NO4. This non-standard amino acid building block serves as a critical reagent for introducing aromatic side chains into complex peptide structures.
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent degradation. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles due to potential irritant properties. Not intended for direct human administration without rigorous purification and clinical validation.
