Z-L-Alanine

Z-L-Alanine is a protected amino acid derivative in which L-alanine is masked at the amino group by a benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz, "Z") protecting group. The molecule contains a free carboxylic acid functional group and a stereogenic center consistent with the L-configuration, while the CbZ group helps suppress undesired amine reactivity during peptide coupling chemistry. Z-L-Alanine is used as a building block for stepwise peptide synthesis and for preparing alanine-containing peptide intermediates where chemoselective handling of the carboxyl group and controlled deprotection of the amino functionality are required.
