This compound is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a protected form of D-lysine. The Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) group safeguards the amino group during the synthesis process, preventing unwanted reactions. It is particularly valuable in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), where selective deprotection and coupling steps are essential. The methyl ester (OMe) group enhances solubility in organic solvents, facilitating handling and reaction efficiency. This chemical is crucial in the production of peptides for research, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology applications, enabling the creation of complex peptide structures with high precision.
