Carbobenzoxy-β-cyan-β-L-alanin, also known as Z-β-CN-β-L-Ala-OH, is a synthetic chemical compound with the molecular formula C11H12N2O3. It is a derivative of β-alanine, an amino acid, where the carbobenzoxy (Z) group is attached to the nitrogen atom, and a cyano group is present at the β-position. Carbobenzoxy-β-cyan-β-L-alanin is often used as a building block in peptide synthesis, particularly in the preparation of β-peptides, which are a type of peptide with a backbone formed by β-amino acids instead of the more common α-amino acids. The carbobenzoxy group serves as a protecting group, preventing unwanted side reactions during synthesis, and is later removed to yield the desired peptide sequence.
The CAS Registry Mumber 7436-73-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,4,3 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 3 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7436-73: (6*7)+(5*4)+(4*3)+(3*6)+(2*7)+(1*3)=109 109 % 10 = 9 So 7436-73-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
