Boc-3-(3-pyridyl)-L-alanine (Cat No.: M017497) is a protected amino acid derivative featuring a 3-pyridyl group attached to the β-position of L-alanine and a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group protecting the amino terminus. It is commonly used in peptide synthesis to introduce aromatic and heterocyclic functionality, enhancing molecular interactions such as π-π stacking or hydrogen bonding. The Boc group ensures compatibility with standard Fmoc solid-phase synthesis strategies. This compound is valuable in designing peptides with modified side chains for medicinal chemistry and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
