Boc-Tyr-OSu, known chemically as Nα-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, is a valuable reagent used in chemical synthesis for the selective functionalization of tyrosine residues in peptides and proteins. In peptide chemistry, Boc-Tyr-OSu is commonly employed for the introduction of a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group on the side chain of tyrosine. This protection strategy is crucial for controlling the reactivity and specificity of subsequent chemical reactions in peptide synthesis. Furthermore, the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester moiety in Boc-Tyr-OSu facilitates the coupling of the tyrosine residue to other amino acids or molecules, enabling the formation of peptide bonds and peptide conjugates with high efficiency. With its versatility and reliability, Boc-Tyr-OSu plays a pivotal role in the precise construction of peptide sequences and the development of diverse peptide-based compounds for various research and pharmaceutical applications.
