Description:(S)-N-Boc-3-aminobutyric acid is a chiral amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the amino group. This compound features a butyric acid backbone, which contributes to its structural properties. The Boc group is commonly used in organic synthesis to protect amines during various chemical reactions, allowing for selective functionalization of other reactive sites. As a chiral molecule, (S)-N-Boc-3-aminobutyric acid can exist in two enantiomeric forms, with the (S)-configuration being biologically relevant in many contexts, particularly in pharmaceutical applications. The compound is typically white to off-white in appearance and is soluble in polar organic solvents. Its applications include use in peptide synthesis and as an intermediate in the preparation of biologically active compounds. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many chemical substances, to ensure safety and maintain stability.
