Description:Ac-Cys(Trt)-OH, also known as Acetyl-Cysteine with a Trityl (Trt) protecting group on the thiol side chain, is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine. This compound features an acetyl group attached to the amino group, which enhances its stability and solubility. The Trityl group serves as a protective moiety for the thiol (-SH) functional group, preventing unwanted reactions during synthesis or storage. Ac-Cys(Trt)-OH is typically used in peptide synthesis and as an intermediate in the preparation of more complex molecules. Its structure allows for the selective deprotection of the thiol group when needed, facilitating the formation of disulfide bonds or other thiol-related reactions. The compound is generally soluble in organic solvents, and its stability can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature. As with many cysteine derivatives, it may exhibit antioxidant properties, making it of interest in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its integrity and reactivity.
