6-Heptenoic acid, 2-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-

Description:

6-Heptenoic acid, 2-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]- is a chemical compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a heptenoic acid backbone and an amino group modified by a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group. This compound features a double bond in the heptenoic acid chain, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of the Boc group enhances the stability of the amino functionality, making it useful in peptide synthesis and other chemical transformations. The compound is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water reflects its hydrophobic characteristics, typical of long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose risks such as irritation or toxicity. Overall, this compound is of interest in the fields of organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry for its potential applications.
