2-{[(tert-Butoxy)carbonyl]amino}hex-5-ynoic acid is a macrocyclization product of the cyclodepsipeptide, ophiocordin. It has been synthesized by reacting 2-{[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl]amino}hexanoic acid with 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-(2,3,4,5) tetraoxane in the presence of potassium carbonate and dichloromethane. This synthetic product has shown biological activities against a variety of targets including bacterial species such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus. 2-{[(tert-Butoxy)carbonyl]amino}hexanoic acid also has chemotactic activity for neutrophils and macrophages.
