tert-Butoxycarbonyl-L-leucine (CAS 2059-64-7) is a protected amino acid derivative with molecular formula C10H19NO4. It is synthesized via the reaction of L-leucine with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Boc2O) in aqueous alkaline media, serving as a critical building block for solid-phase peptide synthesis.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to prevent hydrolysis. Avoid inhalation and skin contact; use appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles during handling.
