Boc-11-aminoundecanoic acid(CAT:M052927) is a protected amino-functionalized fatty acid derivative featuring a Boc-protected amine and a terminal carboxylic acid on an 11-carbon aliphatic chain. The Boc group provides stability during synthetic steps and can be readily removed under acidic conditions to liberate the primary amine for conjugation. The long hydrophobic chain offers flexibility and spacing, making it particularly useful as a linker or spacer in peptide synthesis, bioconjugation, and drug design. Its carboxyl group enables efficient amide bond formation. Boc-11-aminoundecanoic acid is widely applied in medicinal chemistry, biomaterials research, and the preparation of amphiphilic conjugates and functionalized molecules.
