N-Boc-L-phenylalaninal

Product Overview

N-Boc-L-phenylalaninal, identified by CAS number 72155-45-4, represents a highly specialized chiral building block essential for modern pharmaceutical synthesis. This protected amino aldehyde derivative serves as a foundational component in the construction of complex peptide structures and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Our manufacturing process ensures exceptional stereochemical integrity, maintaining the L-configuration required for biological activity in downstream applications. As a key intermediate, it facilitates the efficient assembly of protease inhibitors used in advanced therapeutic regimens.

Chemical Properties and Specifications

The compound is characterized by its tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protection group, which provides stability during various synthetic transformations while preventing unwanted side reactions at the amine functionality. The aldehyde group remains reactive for subsequent coupling steps, making it versatile for medicinal chemistry campaigns. We adhere to strict quality control protocols to guarantee consistency across batches. The following table outlines the critical physical and chemical parameters verified during our quality assurance process:

Industrial Applications

This intermediate is predominantly utilized in the manufacturing of antiretroviral medications, specifically serving as a precursor in the synthesis of Atazanavir and its sulfate salts. The high optical purity of our N-Boc-L-phenylalaninal ensures that the final API meets rigorous pharmacopeial standards for enantiomeric excess. Beyond HIV therapeutics, this building block is valuable in the development of other peptidomimetic compounds where phenylalanine residues are required. Our supply supports both pilot-scale research and large-scale commercial production, providing a reliable source for process chemistry teams aiming to optimize synthesis routes.

Quality Assurance and Handling

We implement a comprehensive quality management system aligned with GMP standards to monitor every stage of production. Each batch undergoes thorough analysis using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to confirm identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to document compliance with specified parameters. Proper handling is crucial to maintain product stability; the material should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from strong light and moisture sources. We recommend keeping containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent degradation of the aldehyde functionality.
