Upstream Synthesis Route

Boc-Cys-OH is a valuable tool in chemical synthesis due to its ability to protect the thiol group of cysteine during peptide synthesis. This compound, also known as N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-cysteine, is commonly used in the production of peptides and proteins where the reactive thiol group needs to be temporarily masked to prevent unwanted side reactions. By utilizing Boc-Cys-OH as a protecting group, chemists can control the reactivity of cysteine residues, allowing for selective modification of peptides and proteins without compromising their overall structure or function. Additionally, Boc-Cys-OH offers stability and compatibility with a variety of commonly used reagents and solvents, making it a versatile tool for the synthesis of complex molecules in both research and industrial settings.
