Introduction
L-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino) butyric acid is an amino acid derivative. It is a colorless solid with amino and carboxyl functional groups. Soluble in water at room temperature.
It is also used to study biological processes such as folding, adsorption, and enzymatic reactions of proteins.
The method for preparing L-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino) butyric acid is as follows: 2-aminobutyric acid is reacted with tert-butoxycarbonyl chloride to form L-2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl amino)butyrate. Next, the ester is hydrolyzed with the acid to obtain L-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)butyric acid.
Safety Information: L-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylaminobutyric acid) is relatively safe under normal operating conditions, but the following precautions should still be taken: avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing; Avoid inhalation or ingestion; use of appropriate workplace ventilation equipment; Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as lab gloves, glasses, and protective clothing. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
