Boc-MeAla-OH (N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-N-methyl-L-alanine) is a protected amino acid derivative used in solid-phase peptide synthesis. The core process involves protecting the alpha-amino group of N-methylalanine with a Boc group to prevent side reactions during coupling. Its molecular formula is C8H15NO4 and CAS number is 70966-28-6.
Store in a cool, dry place under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles due to potential skin irritation. Not approved for direct clinical use; strictly for research and industrial synthesis only.
