This chemical is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a protected amino acid derivative. It serves as a building block for creating peptides with specific sequences, ensuring the Dab (diaminobutyric acid) residue remains protected during the synthesis process. The Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) groups shield the amino functionality, preventing unwanted reactions, while the DCHA (dicyclohexylamine) salt form enhances stability and solubility. It is particularly valuable in research and pharmaceutical development, where precise peptide structures are required for drug discovery, biochemical studies, and therapeutic applications. Its use allows for controlled and efficient peptide chain assembly, making it a critical component in advanced organic and medicinal chemistry workflows.
