tert-Butyl glycinate

tert-Butyl glycinate (CAS: 6456-74-2) is a valuable amino acid ester intermediate widely used in peptide synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediate development, and the construction of chiral molecules. The tert-butyl group protects the carboxyl functionality, preventing undesired side reactions during multi-step synthesis, while the amino group remains available for further functionalization such as amidation, condensation, or cyclization. It plays a key role in the synthesis of biologically active compounds and complex natural product derivatives.
