Boc-Orn(Z)-OH; (S)-5-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)amino)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pentanoic acid; CAS No.: 2480-93-5; Boc-Orn(Z)-OH. PROPERTIES: Boc-Orn(Z)-OH is a protected amino acid derivative used in peptide synthesis. This compound has a molecular weight of 372.40 g/mol and appears as a white to off-white solid. It demonstrates limited water solubility but is soluble in common organic solvents. Boc-Orn(Z)-OH should be stored at room temperature in a dry, dark environment. It is sensitive to moisture and light. Safety considerations include potential eye and skin irritation, so protective measures are advised. APPLICATIONS: Boc-Orn(Z)-OH serves as a building block in the synthesis of peptides containing ornithine residues with Boc protection on the amino group and Z protection on the side chain amino group. In medicinal chemistry, it facilitates the creation of peptidomimetics with specific conformational constraints. In research applications, Boc-Orn(Z)-OH is used to prepare peptides for studying protein-protein interactions and enzymatic processes. These applications are detailed in peptide synthesis protocols and medicinal chemistry literature.
