Chemical Structure



2-((tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amino)-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)acetic acid is a versatile compound commonly utilized in chemical synthesis as a protecting group for amino acids. In peptide synthesis, this compound plays a crucial role in safeguarding the amine group of amino acids by temporarily attaching the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group, which prevents unwanted side reactions and selective reaction at specific sites. This protective group can be easily removed under mild conditions, allowing for further modifications or coupling reactions to take place without affecting other functional groups. The presence of the naphthalen-2-yl moiety provides additional stability and structural support to the molecule, making it a valuable tool in the synthesis of complex peptides and pharmaceutical compounds.
