Cbz-amino acid
Cbz-amino acids are amino acids where the amino group (-NH2) is protected by a carbobenzyloxy (Cbz) group. This protection is crucial in peptide synthesis to prevent unwanted reactions with other reagents or functional groups during the coupling steps. Cbz-amino acids are synthesized by reacting the amino acid with benzyl chloroformate (Cbz-Cl), resulting in the formation of the Cbz-protected amino acid. In peptide synthesis, Cbz-amino acids serve as building blocks for assembling peptides and proteins in a stepwise manner.
