This chemical is widely used in peptide synthesis as a protected N-methyl-glutamic acid derivative. Its primary application is in the construction of peptides, where it serves as a building block to introduce N-methyl-glutamic acid residues with specific side-chain protections. The Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) group protects the N-methyl amino group, while the Obzl (benzyl ester) group protects the carboxyl side chain, ensuring selective reactivity during peptide elongation. It is particularly useful in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and solution-phase methods, enabling the synthesis of complex peptides and proteins. Additionally, it finds use in the development of peptide-based drugs, biomaterials, and research tools, where precise control over amino acid incorporation is essential. Its stability and compatibility with various coupling reagents make it a valuable component in organic and medicinal chemistry workflows.
