Fmoc amino acids

[Amino acids]

Hi,

I was wondering if fmoc-tryptophan, fmoc-phenylalanine and fmoc-tyrosine have any physchoactive properties similar to dmt, amphetamine and opioids? Think that this would be the place people would know.

Very likely not. Fmoc is a protecting group and is only really used on amino acids in peptide synthesis.

No. Like aced said, Fmoc is a protecting group and it changes the behavior of the nitrogen significantly. And of course it's incredibly large.
