Boc,Me-EDA-Me*HCl (CAS 202207-84-9)

Boc,Me-EDA-Me*HCl is an organic compound created through the condensation of N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-N,N′-dimethyl-1,2-ethylenediamine with hydrochloric acid. Boc,Me-EDA-Me*HCl plays the role of a reagent in organic synthesis, being used for the protection of amines, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, it is involved in the creation of peptides and peptidomimetics. Boc,Me-EDA-Me*HCl′s application extends to a broad array of scientific research fields, including biochemistry, chemical synthesis, and areas beyond medicinal chemistry. In biochemistry, it is utilized to probe the structure and function of proteins and peptides, as well as to explore enzyme action mechanisms. The way Boc,Me-EDA-Me*HCl functions is by acting as a protecting group for amines, alcohols, and carboxylic acids, creating a stable covalent bond with the functional group to prevent it from reacting with other molecules. The bond can be broken by introducing a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid, freeing the protected functional group.
