CAS 2304-94-1: N-benzyloxycarbonyl-β-alanine
Description:N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-β-alanine, also known as Z-β-alanine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) protecting group on the amino group of β-alanine. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, but less soluble in water. It has a molecular structure that includes a carboxylic acid group, an amino group, and a side chain that features a benzyl group, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. The Z group serves as a protective moiety, making it useful in peptide synthesis, particularly in the formation of peptide bonds where selective protection of the amino group is required. N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-β-alanine is often utilized in biochemical research and pharmaceutical applications, including the synthesis of various bioactive compounds and peptides. Its stability and reactivity under specific conditions make it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis.
