Application

Boc-Ala-OH can be used:
  • In the preparation of N-propargylalanine, a key precursor to generate N-(3-aryl)propylated alanine residues.
  • In the resolution of racemic mixture of 3,3′-bis(benzyloxy)-1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2′-diol.
  • In the one-pot synthesis of hybrid tripeptidomimetics containing both amide and imide functionalities.
