N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-N-methylethanolamine(CAT: R063345) is a protected amino alcohol commonly used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates and complex molecular frameworks. Featuring a Boc-protected secondary amine and a terminal hydroxyl group, this compound offers dual reactivity—enabling selective transformations at either functional site. The Boc group provides stability under mild acidic conditions and can be easily removed under standard deprotection protocols, facilitating stepwise synthesis.
