Description:2-(Boc-amino)ethanethiol, with the CAS number 67385-09-5, is a chemical compound characterized by the presence of a thiol group (-SH) and a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group attached to an amino group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The Boc group serves as a protective moiety for the amine, making it useful in peptide synthesis and other organic reactions where selective reactivity is desired. The thiol functionality imparts nucleophilic properties, allowing for participation in various chemical reactions, including disulfide bond formation and thiol-ene click chemistry. Additionally, 2-(Boc-amino)ethanethiol is soluble in polar organic solvents, which enhances its utility in synthetic applications. Its reactivity and functional groups make it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Proper handling and storage are essential due to the potential reactivity of the thiol group and the need to maintain the integrity of the Boc protecting group.
