N-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-valine(CAS: 1685-33-2)

N-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-valine (CAS: 1685-33-2) is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 262.27 g/mol. It has a melting point of 215-217°C and is soluble in methanol, ethanol, and chloroform. The compound is stable in air and is a chiral molecule. It is less reactive than many other carboxylic acid derivatives but can undergo esterification and amidation reactions under appropriate conditions.

N-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-valine (CAS: 1685-33-2) can be synthesized using a multi-step process involving the protection of D-valine with benzyloxycarbonyl group. This typically involves the reaction of D-valine with phenyl methyl chloroformate in the presence of a base like triethylamine to form the protected amino acid. Further steps may include acetylation and deprotection to achieve the final product. The yield and selectivity can be improved by optimizing reaction conditions and using appropriate solvents and catalysts.

N-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-valine (CAS: 1685-33-2) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as a building block for the synthesis of peptides and other biologically active compounds. It is also used in the polymer industry for the modification of synthetic polymers and in the chemical sensing field for the development of sensor materials. Additionally, it finds applications in the development of semiconductors and electronic materials.

When handling N-[(Benzyloxy)carbonyl]-D-valine (CAS: 1685-33-2), it is important to wear protective gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to avoid inhalation of dust or vapors. Spills should be cleaned up using appropriate absorbent materials, and the area should be thoroughly washed. In case of skin contact, remove contaminated clothing and wash the affected area with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
