title: Properties and applications of the (2-nitrofluoren-9-yl)methoxycarbonyl group.
abstract: This paper presents a new protecting group, the (2-nitrofluoren-9-yl)methoxycarbonyl group. Investigations on the properties of this new modification of the Fmoc-system, such as the solvent-dependent photochemical cleavage, and enhanced lability towards bases, are described, as well as UV-kinetic measurements of the cleavage reaction. In addition, the incorporation of the (2-nitrofluoren-9-yl)methoxycarbonyl group into two peptides, and a sequence-dependent photochemical cleavage reaction are reported.
