N-[(1,1-Dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-leucyl-L-leucine（Cat No.:I043092）is a modified dipeptide, where the amino group of L-leucine is protected by a 1,1-dimethylethoxycarbonyl (Dmt) group. The Dmt group serves as a protective group, preventing unwanted reactions during peptide synthesis and allowing selective deprotection under specific conditions. This compound features two L-leucine residues, making it useful in the study of leucine-rich peptides. N-[(1,1-Dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]-L-leucyl-L-leucine is commonly used in peptide chemistry to control the reactivity of leucine in peptide synthesis and in studies involving peptide structure, stability, and bioactivity.
