2-((tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-methylbutanoic acid（Cat No.:I043155）is a Boc-protected isoleucine derivative widely used in peptide synthesis and pharmaceutical research. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group protects the amine functionality, allowing selective deprotection under mild acidic conditions. Its branched alkyl side chain contributes to hydrophobic interactions, making it a crucial building block in bioactive peptide synthesis, drug discovery, and medicinal chemistry. This compound plays a key role in designing modified peptides, enzyme inhibitors, and structurally constrained biomolecules, enhancing their stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic potential in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications.
