Application

4,5-Dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl chloroformate (NVOC-Cl) 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.
