Z-DL-Ala-OSu, also known as Z-DL-alanine N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, is a chemical compound commonly used in peptide synthesis and bioconjugation. It features a Z (benzyloxycarbonyl) protecting group on the amino group of alanine, which helps in the selective formation of peptide bonds while preventing unwanted reactions. The presence of the N-hydroxysuccinimide (OSu) moiety enhances its reactivity, allowing for efficient coupling with amines to form stable amide bonds. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylformamide (DMF). Z-DL-Ala-OSu is valued in synthetic organic chemistry for its ability to facilitate the formation of peptides and other biomolecules, making it a useful reagent in the fields of medicinal chemistry and biotechnology. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and reactivity, as with many chemical reagents.
