Boc-Trp(For)-OH is a tryptophan derivative often utilized in Boc-SPPS. The formyl group protects the indole ring from addition as other protecting groups are removed. The formyl group can be removed thiolytically during peptide cleavage from the resin. It can also be removed with piperidine in DMF.
