3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-4-methylpentanoic acid

Description:
3-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-4-methylpentanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 248924-39-2, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the amino functional group. This compound features a pentanoic acid backbone with a methyl group at the fourth carbon position, contributing to its branched structure. The Boc group is commonly used in organic synthesis to protect amines during chemical reactions, allowing for selective modifications without affecting the amino functionality. The presence of both carboxylic acid and amine functional groups makes this compound amphoteric, enabling it to act as both an acid and a base. Its solubility is influenced by the hydrophobic tert-butoxycarbonyl group and the polar carboxylic acid, which can affect its behavior in various solvents. This compound is often utilized in peptide synthesis and other applications in medicinal chemistry, where the protection of amino groups is crucial for the successful formation of peptide bonds.
