N-[N-Boc-D-alaninyl]-D-alanine

Uses

N-[N-Boc-D-alaninyl]-D-alanine is an intermediate in the synthesis of N-Acetyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine (A168068), which was used as the target in the target-accelerated combinatorial synthesis of vancomycin dimers. D-Ala-D-Ala possess the greatest affinity for vancomycin. Vancomycin and N-Acetyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine are used as a model system to demonstrate the use of affinity capillary eletrophoresis.
