This compound, N-[(2-Methyl-2-propanyl)oxy]carbonyl-L-valyl-N-[4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-L-alaninamide, is a Boc-protected dipeptide intermediate featuring L-valine and L-alanine linked to 4-(aminomethyl)benzyl alcohol. It serves as a building block in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), where the N-terminal Boc group allows for selective deprotection and subsequent amino acid coupling to build peptide chains. The C-terminal hydroxymethylphenyl amide provides a versatile handle for resin attachment or conjugation to other moieties. This specialty chemical is essential in pharmaceutical research for synthesizing complex peptide therapeutics, ensuring precise control over sequence assembly and functional group orthogonality while preventing unwanted side reactions.
