Introduction
boc-D-tyrosine methyl ester is an organic compound with the chemical formula C17H23NO5. It is the N-protecting methyl ester compound of D-tyrosine, wherein Boc represents N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (tert-butoxycarbonyl). boc-D-tyrosine ester is a common amino acid protecting group, which can protect nucleophile from reacting with D-tyrosine in synthesis.
The main use of boc-D-tyrosine methyl ester is as a starting material or intermediate in polypeptide synthesis, and is used to synthesize polypeptides containing D-tyrosine. This can be achieved by adding a N-tert-butoxycarbonyl methyl group to D-tyrosine.
The method of preparing boc-D-tyrosine methyl ester can use a variety of different reaction conditions. A common synthetic method is to react D-tyrosine with methanol and sulfuric acid to produce D-tyrosine methyl ester, which is then reacted with N-tert-butoxycarbonyl isocyanate to produce boc-D-tyrosine ester.
Regarding safety information, boc-D-tyrosine methyl ester is generally relatively safe under appropriate operating conditions. However, it is an organic compound that is potentially irritating and toxic. Use should follow appropriate laboratory safety practices, such as wearing protective gloves, glasses, and laboratory coats, and operate in a well-ventilated environment. Use chemical protective equipment and engineering controls as necessary to protect personal safety.
