(S)-2-Amino-5-(tert-butoxy)-5-oxopentanoic acid（Cat No.:R061615）is a modified amino acid derivative commonly used in peptide synthesis. It features a tert-butoxy group at the 5-position of the pentanoic acid backbone, which provides steric protection and improves the stability of the compound during synthetic procedures. The 5-oxo group adds functional versatility, making it useful for further chemical modifications or conjugation reactions. The (S)-configuration of the amino group ensures stereochemical specificity during peptide formation. After synthesis, the tert-butoxy group can be removed under mild acidic conditions, allowing for further functionalization or elongation of peptides.
