nalpha-methoxycarbonyl-L-tryptophan methyl ester

Description:
Nα-Methoxycarbonyl-L-tryptophan methyl ester, with the CAS number 58635-46-4, is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan, characterized by the presence of a methoxycarbonyl group and a methyl ester functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and dichloromethane, but has limited solubility in water. It is often used in peptide synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals due to its ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including coupling reactions with other amino acids. The presence of the tryptophan moiety imparts unique properties, such as the potential for fluorescence and involvement in biological processes. Additionally, the methoxycarbonyl and methyl ester groups enhance its reactivity and stability, making it a valuable compound in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its integrity and prevent degradation.
