Description

tert-Butyl 4-bromobutanoate is a chemical that has been studied for its potential to modify sulfur-containing cyclopeptides. It was synthesized by reacting cyclopentanone with tert-butyl bromoacetate in the presence of a tertiary amine catalyst and hydrogen fluoride as co-catalyst. In addition, it has been used in the synthesis of antigenic determinants. Tert-butyl 4-bromobutanoate is also used in biochemical studies as an inhibitor of arginine decarboxylase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L -arginine to L -citrulline and carbon dioxide.
