N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-O-methyl-L-tyrosine Methyl Ester

Description:

N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-O-methyl-L-tyrosine methyl ester, with CAS number 853759-49-6, is a synthetic amino acid derivative that features a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group, which is commonly used in peptide synthesis to protect the amino group. This compound contains a fluorine atom at the 2-position and methoxy groups at the 5 and 4-O positions, which can influence its reactivity and solubility. The presence of these functional groups suggests that it may exhibit unique chemical properties, such as altered polarity and potential for hydrogen bonding. The methyl ester functionality indicates that it can undergo hydrolysis to release the corresponding carboxylic acid, which is relevant in biological contexts. This compound is likely to be of interest in medicinal chemistry and peptide synthesis due to its structural features that may enhance bioactivity or stability. As with many synthetic intermediates, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols.
