Boc-N-Me-DL-Phg-OH is a specialty chemical used as a building block in peptide synthesis. It is a derivative of N-methyl-DL-phenylglycine protected with the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group on the amino functionality. This protection prevents unwanted side reactions during peptide bond formation, allowing for selective coupling at the carboxylic acid end. The Boc group is stable under neutral and basic conditions but can be selectively removed under mild acidic conditions. This compound is essential in the synthesis of complex peptides for pharmaceutical applications, such as drug development, and in biochemical research for studying protein interactions and designing novel therapeutics.
