N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-S-butylhomocysteine（Cat No.:I043101）is a modified derivative of homocysteine, where a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group is attached to the amino group and a butyl group is linked to the sulfur atom at the S position. The Boc group serves as a protective group, preventing undesired reactions during peptide synthesis and can be selectively removed under acidic conditions to reveal the free amino group. This compound is used in the synthesis of peptides, particularly when controlling the reactivity of homocysteine and studying sulfur-containing amino acids and their role in biological processes.
