N-Carbobenzoxy-DL-norvaline（Cat No.:I042984）is a derivative of norvaline, a non-proteinogenic amino acid analogous to valine. This compound features a carbobenzoxy (Cbz or Z) protecting group attached to the amino group of DL-norvaline, facilitating its use in peptide synthesis. It appears as a white to off-white powder or crystalline solid with a melting point of approximately 88 °C. The molecular formula is C₁₃H₁₇NO₄, corresponding to a molecular weight of 251.28 g/mol. N-Carbobenzoxy-DL-norvaline is sparingly soluble in methanol, yielding an almost transparent solution. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is essential to maintain its stability and reactivity.
