CAS 138662-63-2: boc-3,3-diphenyl-L-alanine
Description:Boc-3,3-diphenyl-L-alanine is a protected form of the amino acid L-alanine, characterized by the presence of a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group, which serves as a protective group for the amino functionality. This compound features two phenyl groups attached to the alpha carbon, contributing to its hydrophobic character and influencing its solubility and reactivity. The Boc group enhances the stability of the amino acid during synthetic procedures, allowing for selective reactions without interference from the amino group. Typically, Boc-3,3-diphenyl-L-alanine is utilized in peptide synthesis and medicinal chemistry, where it can serve as a building block for more complex molecules. Its structural features may also impart unique biological activities, making it of interest in drug design and development. The compound is generally handled with standard laboratory safety precautions, and its properties, such as melting point and solubility, can vary based on the specific conditions and solvents used.
