(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-L-leucylglycine (Cat No.:R028196) is a dipeptide derivative where the amino group of L-leucine is protected by a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group, while glycine is attached to the leucine residue. The Boc protection prevents unwanted reactions during peptide synthesis, making it easier to assemble longer peptides or bioactive molecules. Boc-L-Leu-Gly is commonly used as an intermediate in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), where the Boc group can be removed under acidic conditions. It is widely used in biochemical research, particularly for peptide design, enzyme studies, and drug development.
