Boc-6-aminohexanoic acid（Cat No.:R055572）is a protected amino acid derivative featuring a six-carbon aliphatic spacer (ε-amino caproic acid) with a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group shielding the amino function. It is commonly used in peptide synthesis, bioconjugation, and linker chemistry, where the flexible spacer facilitates spatial separation between functional moieties. The Boc group provides acid-labile protection, allowing selective deprotection under mild acidic conditions. Boc-6-aminohexanoic acid is also valuable in designing peptide-drug conjugates, polymer modifications, and as a building block in solid-phase synthesis for generating complex molecular architectures.
