(S)-2-((tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amino)-4-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-oxobutanoic acid（Cat No.:I043130）is a modified amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis. The compound features a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group on the amino group, which provides protection during synthesis and ensures controlled incorporation into peptide sequences. The cyclohexyloxy group at the side chain offers increased steric hindrance and hydrophobicity, which can influence the folding and stability of peptides. The 4-oxo group adds functional versatility for further chemical modifications. The Boc group can be removed under mild acidic conditions, revealing the free amino group for further reactions or peptide elongation.
