(S)-N-Boc-3-Amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid(CAS#103365-47-5) Brief introduction

S-Boc-β-phenylalanine, the full name of N-propionyl-protected β-phenylalanine, is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of the compound:

Quality:
S-Boc-β-phenylalanine is a white to yellowish crystalline powder that is soluble in some polar organic solvents. It contains a protecting group (Boc group) in its chemical structure that protects the amino group of β-phenylalanine from unwanted reactions.

Use:
S-Boc-β-phenylalanine is commonly used in organic synthesis as an intermediate or starting material. By deprotecting the Boc group, the reexposed amino group can be involved in other reactions, resulting in the preparation of various β-phenylalanine derivatives and similar compounds.

Method:
In general, the preparation method of S-Boc-β-phenylalanine is to react β-phenylalanine with propionyl chloride to generate the corresponding amide, and further use butoxycarbonyl salt (Boc2O) to react with it to obtain the desired product.

Safety Information:
S-Boc-β-Phenylalanine is generally relatively safe under normal operating conditions, but care is still required to follow good laboratory safety practices. It can be irritating to the skin and eyes and should be avoided in direct contact when used. Avoid inhaling its powder as it may cause respiratory irritation. In case of any discomfort or accident, you should seek medical attention promptly. During storage, it should be kept in a dry, well-ventilated place and avoid contact with oxidants and strong acids.
