This chemical is primarily used in peptide synthesis as a protected amino acid derivative. The Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) group serves as a temporary protecting group for the amine functionality, preventing unwanted reactions during peptide bond formation. The 2-Br-Z (2-bromobenzyloxycarbonyl) group protects the hydroxyl side chain of tyrosine, ensuring selective reactivity during the synthesis process. It is particularly useful in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and solution-phase peptide synthesis, where precise control over the sequence and structure of peptides is required. Its application is crucial in the production of custom peptides for research in biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and drug development, especially in the study of peptide-based therapeutics and enzyme inhibitors.
