Description
4,5-Dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl chloroformate is a photolabile protecting reagent, commonly used in peptide or nucleotide synthesis to protect amines and hydroxyl groups.General applications are:• Preparation of inactive, caged protein conjugates which can be activated by irradiating near-ultraviolet light.• Solid-phase synthesis of base-sensitive S-acylthioethyl (SATE)-prooligonucleotides.• Modification of surface properties by introducing photocleavable NVOC moiety into chitosan to control cell attachment
