It is commonly used in Peptide synthesis especially in solid-phase peptide synthesis for the controlled incorporation of D-proline into peptide chains.

The purpose of BOC-D-Pro-OH is to facilitate selective peptide bond formation while protecting the amino group ensuring accuracy and efficiency in peptide synthesis.

BOC-D-Pro-OH is a protected amino acid derivative of D-proline in which the amino group is protected by a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group to prevent unwanted reactions.
