9-Fluorenylmethoxycarbonylpyroglutamate, a side-product of derivatization of glutamate with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate: a warning.
9-Fluorenylmethyl chloroformate derivatization is widely used for determinations of amino acids in biological material. The derivatization of glutamate leads to the formation of 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonylpyroglutamate as a side-product, which is thus a methodological artifact.
