N-Boc-Aminoethane-SS-acetic acid CAS:144700-77-6 is a chemical compound that is commonly used in organic synthesis and peptide chemistry. It is a derivative of aminoethane, an organic compound that contains both an amino group and an ethyl group. The compound is protected with a Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) group, which is a common protecting group used in organic synthesis to protect amines from unwanted reactions.
The “SS” in the name of the compound refers to the presence of a disulfide linker, which is a covalent bond between two sulfur atoms. The disulfide linker in N-Boc-Aminoethane-SS-acetic acid is used as a cleavable linker in the synthesis of peptides and proteins. The disulfide bond can be cleaved under reducing conditions, such as in the presence of a reducing agent like dithiothreitol (DTT), to release the modified peptide or protein.
N-Boc-Aminoethane-SS-acetic acid is commonly used in the synthesis of peptides and proteins, where it can be used to introduce a disulfide bond between two cysteine residues or as a linker to attach other molecules to peptides and proteins. The compound is also used in the development of drug delivery systems and in the production of peptide-based drugs, where the cleavable disulfide linker can be used to release the drug in response to a specific stimulus, such as a change in redox potential.
