O-(tert-Butyl)-L-serine（Cat No.:M088144）is a derivative of the amino acid L-serine, where the hydroxyl group is protected by a tert-butyl group at the oxygen position. This modification enhances the compound’s stability and solubility, making it useful in synthetic peptide chemistry. It is often employed as a protecting group in peptide synthesis, allowing selective reactions without interference from the hydroxyl group. The tert-butyl group can be removed under specific conditions, enabling the introduction of functional groups for further chemical modifications. This compound has applications in both research and industrial peptide production.
