Tert-butyl (R)-(1-(1H-indol-3-yl)propan-2-yl)carbamate

Protected amino acid building block

This compound is a research reagent with a tert-butyl carbamate protecting group attached to a chiral amine derived from an indole-containing fragment. Its structure includes both an aromatic indole ring and an amide-like functional group, giving it moderate polarity and a molecular weight suitable for laboratory use.
