Boc-Cys(Z-aminoethyl)-OH

Description:
Boc-Cys(Z-aminoethyl)-OH, also known as a protected form of cysteine, is a chemical compound characterized by the presence of a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the amino group of cysteine, along with a Z (benzyloxycarbonyl) protecting group on the thiol side chain. This compound is typically used in peptide synthesis to protect functional groups during chemical reactions, allowing for selective modifications. The presence of the aminoethyl group enhances its solubility and reactivity in various organic solvents. It is a white to off-white solid, and its stability is influenced by the protecting groups, which can be removed under specific conditions to yield the free amino acid. The compound is soluble in polar organic solvents, making it suitable for various applications in organic synthesis and biochemistry. As with many cysteine derivatives, it can participate in redox reactions due to the thiol group, making it valuable in the study of protein structure and function. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with all chemical substances.
