N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine(CAS# 1164-16-5)

N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to its properties, uses, preparation methods, and safety information:

Properties: N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine is a white crystalline powder with structural characteristics of phenoxy carbonyl and tyrosine. It dissolves well in organic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF) or dichloromethane (DCM).

Uses: N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine is often used in organic synthesis reactions, especially as a protective group in peptide synthesis. By introducing it into the tyrosine molecule, it prevents the tyrosine from having unwanted reactions with other compounds during the reaction.

Preparation method: N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine can be obtained by reacting tyrosine with N-benzyloxycarbonyl chloride. Tyrosine is dissolved in a sodium alkaline solution, and then N-benzyloxycarbonyl chloride is added, and the reaction is promoted by magnetic stirring during the reaction. The reaction mixture was neutralized with ammonia or hydrochloric acid to obtain N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine.

Safety information: N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine generally does not cause serious harm to the human body and the environment under conventional experimental conditions. As a chemical, it still needs to be disposed of properly. Appropriate personal protective equipment such as lab gloves, goggles, and lab coats should be worn during handling. Proper handling and storage of organic compounds is an important measure to ensure safety.
