Z-β-Dab(Boc)-OH is widely used in peptide synthesis, particularly as a protected amino acid derivative. It serves as a building block in the construction of complex peptides, ensuring the Dab (2,4-diaminobutyric acid) residue is selectively incorporated without unwanted side reactions. The Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) group provides temporary protection for the amino group, which can be removed under controlled conditions to allow further peptide chain elongation. This compound is especially valuable in the synthesis of peptides with specific biological activities, such as antimicrobial or enzyme-inhibiting properties. Its stability and compatibility with standard solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) protocols make it a reliable choice for researchers in pharmaceutical and biochemical fields.
