CAS 112525-72-1: N-TERT-BUTOXYCARBONYL-DL-TRYPTOPHAN
Description:N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-DL-tryptophan, commonly referred to as Boc-DL-tryptophan, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group attached to the amino group of tryptophan. This compound is typically used in peptide synthesis as a protecting group, which helps to prevent unwanted reactions during the coupling of amino acids. The Boc group is stable under basic conditions but can be easily removed under acidic conditions, making it a versatile choice in organic synthesis. The structure of Boc-DL-tryptophan includes the indole side chain characteristic of tryptophan, contributing to its biochemical properties. It is generally white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in organic solvents like dichloromethane and dimethylformamide. The compound is utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, particularly in the synthesis of peptides and proteins where selective protection of functional groups is essential. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
