This chemical is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a protected form of D-serine. It serves as a building block in the creation of complex peptide structures, ensuring the serine residue remains intact during the reaction process. The Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) group provides temporary protection for the amino group, while the isopropyl ester (Oipr) protects the carboxyl group. This allows for selective deprotection and coupling in multi-step peptide synthesis. It is particularly valuable in the production of custom peptides for research in biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and drug development, where precise control over amino acid sequence is critical. Its application is also seen in the study of peptide-based therapeutics and bioactive molecules.
