N-Fmoc-D-leucine, 98%

Description

A convergent synthesis of the proposed structure of (+)-pestalazine B has been achieved in 4 steps using the N-alkylation of an unprotected tryptophan diketopiperazine with a 3a-bromopyrrolidinoindoline where the condensation between L-tryptophan methyl ester and N-Fmoc-D-leucine in the presence of EDC as coupling agent afforded the corresponding L-Trp-D-Leu dipeptide.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
