(αS)-(S)-2-(Cbz-amino)-4-cyclohexylbutanoic acid is a chiral amino acid derivative used in organic and peptide synthesis. The Cbz (carbobenzyloxy) group protects the amino group, preventing it from reacting during synthesis. The 4-cyclohexylbutanoic acid portion adds a cyclohexyl group, which increases hydrophobicity and influences the molecule's overall shape and interactions. This compound is typically used to incorporate specific structural and stereochemical features into peptides or other complex molecules, often to study or enhance their biological activity.
