Description:BOC-TRP(BOC)-OH, also known as Nα-Boc-L-tryptophan, is a protected form of the amino acid tryptophan, which is essential for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for various bioactive compounds. The "BOC" (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) group is a common protecting group used in peptide synthesis to shield the amino group from unwanted reactions. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and dimethyl sulfoxide, but less soluble in water. Its molecular structure includes a tryptophan backbone with a BOC group attached to the nitrogen of the amino group, which enhances stability and facilitates further chemical modifications. BOC-TRP(BOC)-OH is utilized in peptide synthesis and research applications, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and bioconjugates. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many chemical substances, to maintain its integrity and prevent degradation.
