Product Technical Details

Product Overview

Boc-Cys(4-MeOBzl)-OH represents a critical protected amino acid derivative extensively utilized in the field of advanced peptide synthesis and pharmaceutical development. Identified by CAS number 18942-46-6, this compound features a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the alpha-amino function and a 4-methoxybenzyl (Mob) group protecting the thiol side chain of L-cysteine. This dual protection strategy ensures exceptional stability during complex multi-step synthetic routes, preventing unwanted side reactions such as oxidation or racemization.

Our manufacturing process adheres to strict quality control standards, delivering a product suitable for demanding research and industrial applications. The molecular formula C16H23NO5S and molecular weight of 341.42 g/mol define its chemical identity, making it a precise building block for constructing biologically active peptides and protein analogues.
