L-glutamate-5-tert-butyl ester can be used to protect amino acids and synthesize peptides
H-Glu(OtBu)-OH (N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-L-glutamic acid) is a protected amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis. Its molecular formula is C12H21NO5 and CAS number is 678-92-4. The core process involves protecting the carboxyl group of L-glutamic acid with tert-butyl esters to prevent side reactions during solid-phase synthesis.
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Handle with appropriate PPE to avoid skin contact or inhalation. Not intended for direct clinical administration as an active pharmaceutical ingredient without further processing.
