Boc-.beta.-cyano-Ala-OH

Description:
Boc-β-cyano-Ala-OH, also known as Boc-β-cyanoalanine, is a chemical compound characterized by the presence of a β-cyano group and a Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) protecting group on the amino acid alanine. The Boc group is commonly used in peptide synthesis to protect the amino group, allowing for selective reactions at other functional groups. This compound is typically utilized in organic synthesis and peptide chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and biologically active molecules. The β-cyano group introduces a nitrile functionality, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and cycloadditions. The presence of the cyano group also enhances the compound's polarity and solubility in polar solvents. As with many amino acid derivatives, Boc-β-cyano-Ala-OH can be involved in the formation of peptide bonds, making it valuable in the synthesis of peptides and proteins. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity and reactivity.
