FMOC-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly is a multifunctionalized hydrocarbon that can be used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and other industrial applications. This compound has the potential to be used as a building block for peptides and proteins. The synthetic route to FMOC-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly starts with the synthesis of sulfonyl chlorides from isatin. The sulfonyl chlorides are then reacted with an amine, followed by hydrochloric acid deprotection. The final step involves the removal of the protecting groups on the methylene, hydroxyethyl and piperidine groups using hydrogenolysis. FMOC-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly is stable under refluxing conditions, but it undergoes decomposition when heated at high temperatures for long periods of time or when exposed to elemental sulfur or nitric acid. It also reacts with alkali metals such as sodium
