Description:N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-D-alanine, also known as Z-D-alanine, is a derivative of the amino acid D-alanine, characterized by the presence of a benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) protecting group on the amino group. This compound is typically used in peptide synthesis and as a building block in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. It is a white to off-white solid that is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, but has limited solubility in water. The Z group serves to protect the amino functionality during chemical reactions, allowing for selective modifications of other functional groups. N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-D-alanine is stable under standard laboratory conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light to prevent degradation. Its molecular structure includes a chiral center, making it important in studies related to stereochemistry and the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds. As with many chemical substances, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling this compound, including the use of personal protective equipment.
