Boc-Orn(Aloc)-OH, also known as Nα-Fmoc-L-ornithine, is a key intermediate utilized in chemical synthesis processes to introduce the ornithine amino acid into peptide sequences. Its application lies in the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) approach, particularly in the Fmoc strategy, where the Boc-Orn(Aloc)-OH serves as a building block for the construction of complex peptide structures.In peptide synthesis, Boc-Orn(Aloc)-OH acts as a protected form of ornithine, facilitating controlled incorporation of this specific amino acid into the peptide chain. The Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) and Aloc (allyloxycarbonyl) protecting groups shield the amine and hydroxyl functionalities of ornithine, allowing selective deprotection steps during peptide elongation while preserving the integrity of the sequence.By using Boc-Orn(Aloc)-OH in Fmoc-based SPPS, chemists can strategically introduce ornithine residues at desired positions within the peptide backbone, enabling the synthesis of peptides with tailored properties and functionalities. This versatile building block plays a crucial role in the precise assembly of peptides for various applications in drug discovery, biochemical research, and biotechnological developments.
