5-Amino-4-oxopentanoic acid benzyl ester hydrochloride (CAS 163271-32-7)
QUICK LINKS
5-Amino-4-oxopentanoic acid benzyl ester hydrochloride serves as a precursor for the synthesis of complex molecules, including peptides and peptidomimetics. The amino group allows for the formation of peptide bonds under suitable conditions, while the benzyl ester protects the carboxylic acid, preventing unwanted side reactions during the coupling process. This protective group can be removed under specific conditions after the desired peptide sequence has been assembled, revealing the free carboxylic acid for further functionalization or for the final product. The 4-oxo moiety introduces additional reactivity, offering opportunities for selective modifications and the introduction of functional groups that can alter the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the resulting compounds. This capability is in the design of molecules with specific actions, such as enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands.
