Yes and no. The atom types and bonded terms are likely available, but there may not be an existing residue topology in the distributed files.
A couple quick searches with grep did not find BOC alone, but there are some complex molecules with the fragment in top_all36_cgenff.rtf which could probably be used as a basis to create a patch (PRES) for replacing an amino group.
Probably, but I'd use existing fragments from the CGenFF topology file (search for Tert.Butyl) if I needed this for my work. The CGenFF guidelines advise using existing topologies when available, instead of those from cgenff program or its web interface, ParamChem.
Ya, I have the received the parameter file from CGenFF paramchem in .str format.
the group is defined as "RESI/ scrat". this I have written it as PRES BOC.
(since the atom name C (CG202) should bind with +N of Resi Trp)
in the bond defination i have replaced H02 atom with +N (which earlier binds with C) and following an earlier example i have scripted the setup file as
