L-Phenylalanine, N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-, ethyl ester

Description:
L-Phenylalanine, N-[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-, ethyl ester, identified by CAS number 53588-99-1, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structure, which includes a phenylalanine backbone modified with an ethyl ester and a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group. This compound is typically used in peptide synthesis and as an intermediate in organic synthesis due to its ability to protect the amino group during reactions. It is a white to off-white solid, soluble in organic solvents, and exhibits stability under standard laboratory conditions. The presence of the ethyl ester enhances its lipophilicity, making it more amenable for various chemical reactions. Additionally, L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid in human nutrition, playing a crucial role in protein synthesis and the production of neurotransmitters. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered safe for use in research and synthesis, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed to mitigate any potential risks associated with chemical exposure.
