What can Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate be used to do?
What is peptide synthesis and why is DIBOC used as a reagent for it?
Peptide synthesis is the process of creating peptides, which are short chains of amino acids linked together. DIBOC is used as a reagent to protect the amino group of the amino acid during peptide synthesis, preventing unwanted reactions from occurring.
