1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-2-methylazetidine-2-carboxylic acid(CAT: L041092) is a protected amino acid derivative featuring a four-membered azetidine ring with a methyl group at the 2-position, a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the nitrogen, and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound is particularly useful in peptide synthesis and medicinal chemistry, where the Boc group serves as a stable, removable protecting group that can be cleaved under acidic conditions. The azetidine ring imparts rigidity and a constrained conformation, making it valuable for creating peptides and small molecules with defined spatial arrangements. Its structure is often utilized in the development of pharmacologically active molecules, as well as in research on bioactive peptides, due to the conformational influence it exerts on the resulting compounds.
