(R)-4-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-phenyl-butyric acid; CAS No.: 1821805-21-3; (R)-4-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-phenyl-butyric acid. PROPERTIES: This compound appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid with molecular formula C14H19NO4 and a molecular weight of 257.31 g/mol. It exhibits a melting point in the range of 142-146 C and demonstrates moderate solubility in common organic solvents like methanol and ethyl acetate. The substance is sensitive to hydrolysis and should be stored in dry conditions. Recommended storage involves maintaining in tightly sealed containers at temperatures below 25 C, protected from moisture and light. When handling, standard laboratory safety protocols should be followed, including the use of protective gloves and eye wear, as (R)-4-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-phenyl-butyric acid may cause skin irritation. The carboxylic acid group requires careful handling in strongly basic environments. APPLICATIONS: In medicinal chemistry, (R)-4-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-phenyl-butyric acid serves as a key intermediate for synthesizing antidepressant agents, as documented in pharmaceutical research focusing on serotonergic compounds. Its tert-butoxycarbonyl substituent enables controlled deprotection strategies in multi-step syntheses. Additionally, this compound functions as a building block for preparing agrochemicals with insecticidal activities through formation of urea derivatives. Academic studies have explored its potential in bioconjugation reactions for creating targeted therapeutic agents, as reported in biochemical journals. The butyric acid framework also facilitates formation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), making it valuable for gas storage applications in materials science, as evidenced by studies in crystallography publications.
