Boc-Alaninol (N-Boc-(S)-2-aminopropanol) is a chiral amino alcohol derived from L-alanine, featuring a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the amine and a free primary hydroxyl group. The molecule, with the molecular formula C₈H₁₇NO₃ and molecular weight of 175.23 g/mol, presents a well-defined (S)-configuration at the stereocenter adjacent to the amine, establishing it as an enantiopure chiral building block.
Boc-Alaninol is a protected amino alcohol widely utilized in peptide synthesis and medicinal chemistry research. As a chiral building block derived from L-alanine, Boc-Alaninol enables the selective incorporation of alanine-derived fragments into complex peptide sequences and bioactive molecules. The Boc protecting group in Boc-Alaninol ensures stability during multi-step synthesis while permitting facile deprotection when the free amine is required. Additionally, Boc-Alaninol serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, including silodosin intermediates, and plays a critical role in the preparation of enantiopure oxazolines, peptidomimetics, and other stereo-specific molecules. The crystalline solid form of Boc-Alaninol ensures compatibility with a wide range of organic synthesis protocols.
