This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a building block. It serves to introduce the aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) residue into peptides, which is known to stabilize peptide structures due to its unique conformational properties. The Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) group acts as a protective group for the amino function, ensuring selective reactions during peptide chain assembly. This is particularly useful in the synthesis of complex peptides and peptidomimetics, where precise control over the sequence and structure is required. The N-methylation (N-Me) further enhances the peptide's resistance to enzymatic degradation, making it valuable in the development of bioactive peptides and pharmaceutical compounds.
