1-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid CAS:123811-87-0

As a versatile building block, this compound facilitates efficient synthesis of bioactive compounds and functional materials. Decarboxylation of the acid followed by derivatization of the nitrogen atom systematically generates analog libraries for biological screening. Removal of the Boc group also enables diversity on the heterocyclic nitrogen. These manipulations rapidly produce focused collections applicable to various therapeutic areas. The acid functionality further renders this molecule suitable for surface functionalization and polymerization. This allows tailoring material properties for specific applications. Additionally, facile manipulations furnish agrochemical prototypes. Therefore, with multiple points of diversity, this synthon efficiently enables enantioselective synthesis of drugs, polymers and agricultural protection agents through diverse manipulations.
