Z-O-benzyl-L-tyrosine

Description:
Z-O-benzyl-L-tyrosine, also known as Z-Tyr(Bn)-OH, is a derivative of the amino acid tyrosine, characterized by the presence of a benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) protecting group on the amino group and a benzyl group on the side chain. This compound is typically used in peptide synthesis as a protected form of tyrosine, allowing for selective reactions without interfering with the amino acid's functional groups. It is a white to off-white solid that is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, but less soluble in water. The presence of the benzyl group enhances its hydrophobicity, which can influence its interactions in biological systems. Z-O-benzyl-L-tyrosine is often utilized in research and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the synthesis of peptides and proteins where the protection of functional groups is crucial. Its stability under various conditions makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed due to potential hazards associated with its use.
