Description

Boc-Dl-Homoserine is a protected derivative of the non-proteinogenic amino acid homoserine, featuring a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the amine functionality. This compound is a crucial chiral building block and intermediate in organic synthesis and peptide chemistry, enabling the controlled introduction of the homoserine moiety into complex molecular architectures. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical development labs, and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in the synthesis of novel peptides, peptidomimetics, and other bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and therapeutic peptides.
• Peptide Synthesis: Serves as a protected amino acid building block in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).
• Biochemical Research: Used in metabolic pathway studies and as a precursor for synthesizing enzyme inhibitors or labeled compounds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the custom synthesis of complex organic molecules, specialty chemicals, and ligands for catalysis.
• Agrochemical Research: Potential building block for developing novel plant growth regulators or amino acid-based agrochemicals.

Quality Control

Our Boc-Dl-Homoserine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
