CAS 13734-28-6: α-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-L-lysine
Description:α-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-L-lysine, commonly referred to as Boc-L-lysine, is a derivative of the amino acid lysine, characterized by the presence of a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group. This compound is typically utilized in peptide synthesis and organic chemistry as a protecting group for the amino group of lysine, which allows for selective reactions without interference from the amino functionality. Boc-L-lysine is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and dimethyl sulfoxide, but less soluble in water. Its molecular structure includes a lysine backbone, which contributes to its basic properties, and the Boc group, which enhances stability and reactivity under specific conditions. The compound is sensitive to moisture and should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its integrity. In addition to its role in synthetic chemistry, Boc-L-lysine can also be used in the study of protein structure and function due to its incorporation into peptides.
