Moc-L-tert-leucine (CAS 162537-11-3) is a protected amino acid derivative featuring a methoxycarbonyl group on the N-terminus. Its molecular formula is C9H17NO4. This compound serves as a critical chiral building block in peptide synthesis, offering enhanced steric bulk to improve coupling efficiency and prevent racemization during solid-phase manufacturing processes.
Storage requires airtight sealing at 2-8°C away from moisture and light. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection to avoid skin irritation. It is strictly for industrial R&D use and not approved for direct human consumption or clinical administration without further formulation.
