Product Information

• Name: Boc-1-methyl-DL-tryptophan
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Boc-1-methyl-DL-tryptophan is a synthetic amino acid that is activated by the addition of an amine. The amidation reaction can be catalyzed by a number of alcohols and esters, including benzyl alcohol, benzyl chloride, methyl trifluoroacetate, and ethyl acetate. Boc-1-methyl-DL-tryptophan has been shown to catalyze the formation of unactivated xanthates from acetic acid or benzoic acid in the presence of sodium bicarbonate. The mechanism of activation for this synthetic amino acid is not yet known.
