3-(Tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-methoxyisonicotinic acid(CAT: L027760) is a functionalized derivative of isonicotinic acid, containing a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protected amine group at the 3rd position and a methoxy group at the 2nd position on the pyridine ring. The Boc group serves as a protecting group for the amine, which can be selectively removed under acidic conditions to allow further functionalization. This compound is frequently used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of small molecules where controlled reactivity and selective modifications are important. Its carboxylic acid functionality adds versatility, making it suitable for reactions such as esterification or amide bond formation in medicinal chemistry.
