N-Cbz-L-methionine (CAS# 1152-62-1)

CBZ-Methionine is a chemical compound. It contains a Cbz group and a molecule of methionine in its chemical structure.

CBZ-methionine is often used as an intermediate and protecting group in organic synthesis. It can selectively protect the hydroxyl group of methionine, so that it does not react in some chemical reactions, and plays an important role in synthesis.

The preparation of Cbz-methionine is usually done by reacting methionine with chloromethyl aromatone to produce the corresponding Cbz-methionine ester. The ester then reacts with the base to deesterify it to give Cbz-methionine.

- CBZ-methionine is a potential irritant and allergen that must be used with care.
- Avoid inhalation, ingestion, or contact with skin and eyes. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn when in use.
- Before use, it should be thoroughly evaluated for safety and appropriate protective measures should be taken.
