Di-tert-butyldicarbonate

Di-tert-butyldicarbonate (BOC anhydride) is a commonly used reagent in organic synthesis. It's especially used in pharmaceutical manufacturing as a reagent for the protection of amines, particularly in the synthesis of peptides. The BOC group can be easily removed in acidic conditions, making this compound vital for modular synthesis schemes. Its widespread use and reliability make it an essential component of many pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
