BOC-tryptamine, with the CAS number 103549-24-2, is a chemical compound that serves as a protected form of tryptamine, an important building block in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. The "BOC" in its name refers to the tert-butyloxycarbonyl (BOC) protecting group, which is commonly used to protect amines during chemical reactions. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). BOC-tryptamine is utilized in the synthesis of various bioactive molecules, including pharmaceuticals and neurotransmitter analogs, due to the reactivity of the tryptamine moiety. The BOC group can be easily removed under acidic conditions, allowing for the regeneration of the free amine for further reactions. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions are essential, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

Boc-tryptamine is a natural product that has not been previously described. It undergoes oxidative transformation to form indole, cyclization and tryptophan. Boc-tryptamine can undergo two cyclizations to form a heterocyclic molecule with four rings. It is a biomimetic of tetrapeptides, which are peptides with four amino acids, and has the capacity for diazonamide formation. The biosynthesis of Boc-tryptamine is not yet fully understood.
