Boc-Thr-OMe is an amino acid that belongs to the group of threonine. It has a phosphoryl group in the alpha-amino position. Boc-Thr-OMe is a functional group that is present on proteins and other molecules. The phosphoryl group reacts with water to produce phosphate, which can be used for energy production in cells. Boc-Thr-OMe also participates in hydrogenation reactions and has been shown to be an enantiomeric form of L-threonine. The chiral nature of this compound makes it useful as a catalyst for transglycosylation reactions, which are important in the synthesis of complex sugars such as glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI).
