H-Phe(2-Br)-OH (CAS: 18540-79-9) is a specialized non-natural amino acid derivative, chemically defined as N-Fmoc-L-Phenylalanine-2-bromo or Boc-L-Phenylalanine-2-bromo depending on protection. Synthesized via bromination of L-phenylalanine followed by deprotection, its molecular formula is C9H10BrNO2. This intermediate serves as a critical building block for peptide synthesis.
