Boc-D-Phe-OH is a protected amino acid derivative widely utilized in peptide synthesis. It serves as a key building block for introducing phenylalanine residues with the N-terminus blocked by a tert-butyloxycarbonyl group. The molecular formula is C14H19NO4 and its CAS registry number is 2856-50-6. This compound is typically produced via the reaction of D-phenylalanine with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate.
Storage requires keeping the material in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles during handling due to potential irritation risks.
