(S)-2-((tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-cyclohexylpropanoic acid（Cat No.:R020240）is an amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis. The compound features a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protective group on the amino group, preventing unwanted side reactions during peptide formation. The 3-cyclohexyl group at the side chain enhances the compound’s hydrophobicity and steric bulk, which can influence the folding and stability of peptides. The Boc group can be removed under mild acidic conditions, revealing the free amino group for further reactions or peptide elongation. This derivative is valuable for creating peptides with specific structural or functional characteristics.
