L-Tyrosine, N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester

Description:

L-Tyrosine, N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, commonly referred to by its CAS number 18938-60-8, is an amino acid derivative that features a tyrosine backbone modified with a tert-butyl ester and a protective carbonyl group. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic tert-butyl groups, which enhance its lipophilicity, making it more soluble in organic solvents compared to its parent amino acid. The presence of the carbonyl group provides stability and protection to the amino group, which can be advantageous in synthetic applications. L-Tyrosine itself is a non-essential amino acid important for protein synthesis and serves as a precursor for neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. The modification of L-Tyrosine into this ester form can facilitate its use in various biochemical applications, including drug development and peptide synthesis, by improving its stability and bioavailability. Overall, this compound exemplifies the versatility of amino acid derivatives in chemical and pharmaceutical research.
