:N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-leucine methyl ester
Description:
N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-leucine methyl ester, with the CAS number 63096-02-6, is a derivative of the amino acid leucine, commonly used in peptide synthesis and organic chemistry. This compound features a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group, which is often employed to protect the amino group during chemical reactions. The methyl ester functionality allows for enhanced solubility and reactivity, facilitating its use in various synthetic applications. The structure includes a branched aliphatic side chain characteristic of leucine, contributing to its hydrophobic properties. Typically, this compound is a white to off-white solid, and it is stable under standard laboratory conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and methanol, but less soluble in water. The Boc protecting group can be removed under acidic conditions, allowing for the subsequent functionalization of the amino group. Overall, N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-leucine methyl ester is a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of peptides and other complex organic molecules.
