BOC-ALA-NH2(CAS: 85642-13-3)

BOC-ALA-NH2 (CAS: 85642-13-3) is a white to off-white solid with a molecular weight of approximately 279.35 g/mol. It has a high solubility in organic solvents such as DMSO and DMF but is poorly soluble in water. The compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but can react with acids to release the BOC group. It exhibits good reactivity in amide formation reactions.

BOC-ALA-NH2 (CAS: 85642-13-3) is typically synthesized by the amidation of L-alanine with an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of BOC-protected amino groups. The reaction is usually catalyzed by a coupling reagent such as DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) and DMF (dimethylformamide) as a solvent. The yield is generally around 70-80%, with good selectivity for the amidation reaction.

BOC-ALA-NH2 (CAS: 85642-13-3) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for peptide synthesis and drug development. It is also used in the polymer industry for the synthesis of functional polymers and in the sensor industry for the development of biosensors. Additionally, it has applications in the semiconductor industry for preparing functional materials.

When handling BOC-ALA-NH2 (CAS: 85642-13-3), appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats should be used. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Spills should be cleaned up using appropriate absorbent materials and disposed of according to local regulations. Always consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and storage information.
