CAS 30033-24-0: N-(tert-Buloxycarbonyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine
Description:N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine, commonly referred to as Boc-DOPA, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the amino group of L-DOPA. This compound features a phenylalanine backbone with two hydroxyl groups located at the 3 and 4 positions of the aromatic ring, contributing to its unique reactivity and solubility properties. Boc-DOPA is typically used in peptide synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals, particularly those targeting neurological conditions due to its structural similarity to neurotransmitters. The Boc group serves to protect the amino functionality during synthetic processes, allowing for selective reactions at other functional sites. In terms of physical properties, Boc-DOPA is generally a white to off-white solid, soluble in polar solvents, and stable under standard laboratory conditions. Its reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl groups, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and other interactions, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
