Boc-NH-C4-acid(CAT: I016729) is a protected amino acid–like bifunctional linker featuring a Boc-protected amine and a terminal carboxylic acid group on a four-carbon chain. The Boc group provides stability during multi-step synthesis and can be removed under acidic conditions to expose the primary amine for further modification. The carboxyl group enables amide bond formation with amines, making this reagent a versatile intermediate in peptide synthesis, bioconjugation, and medicinal chemistry. Its balanced hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, along with structural flexibility, make Boc-NH-C4-acid useful in drug design, linker chemistry, and controlled conjugation strategies for therapeutic and biomaterial applications.
