This chemical is primarily used in organic synthesis as a protected intermediate in the production of peptides and other biologically active compounds. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group serves as a protective group for amines, while the tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (TBDPS) group protects hydroxyl functionalities. This dual protection allows for selective reactions to occur at other sites of the molecule without interference. It is particularly valuable in the synthesis of complex molecules, such as pharmaceuticals, where precise control over reaction pathways is critical. Additionally, its application extends to the preparation of chiral compounds, leveraging its stereochemistry to achieve high enantiomeric purity in the final product.
