Used in peptide synthesis as a protected amino acid derivative, it helps in the controlled formation of peptide bonds. The Boc group provides protection for the amino group, preventing unwanted reactions during synthesis. The dicyclohexylammonium salt form enhances solubility in organic solvents, making it suitable for use in non-aqueous environments. It is particularly valuable in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) for constructing complex peptides and proteins. Its stability under acidic conditions allows for selective deprotection, enabling precise sequence assembly. Commonly employed in pharmaceutical research for developing peptide-based drugs and bioactive compounds.
