| Benzyl chloroformate Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Benzyl chloroformate, also known as benzyl chlorocarbonate or Z-chloride, is the benzyl ester of chloroformic acid. It can be also described as the chloride of the benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz or Z) group. In its pure form it is a water-sensitive oily colorless liquid, although impure samples usually appear yellow. It possesses a characteristic pungent odor and degrades in contact with water.
The compound was first prepared by Leonidas Zervas in the early 1930s who used it for the introduction of the benzyloxycarbonyl protecting group, which became the basis of the Bergmann-Zervas carboxybenzyl method of peptide synthesis he developed with Max Bergmann. This was the first successful method of controlled peptide chemical synthesis and for twenty years it was the dominant procedure used worldwide until the 1950s. To this day, benzyl chloroformate is often used for amine group protection. |
| Chemical Properties | colorless or light yellow oily liquid with rancid odor. soluble in ether, acetone, benzene and other organic solvents. It is used to protect amino groups in peptide synthesis. |
| Uses | Benzyl chloroformate is widely used as a reactive chemical intermediate in plastic, pharmaceutical, agricultural and organic chemicals. It is useful for the introduction of carboxybenzyl (cbz) protecting group for amines such as aniline in organic synthesis. It is also involved in the synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. |
| Application | Benzyl chloroformate is used as a reagent in peptide synthesis to protect the amine functionality as the benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz or Z) derivative.
Cbz-protected anilines were prepared directly from aromatic carboxylic acids, sodium azide and Cbz-Cl.
Protecting reagent in peptide synthesis. |
| Preparation | Benzyl chloroformate is prepared in the lab by treating benzyl alcohol with phosgene:
PhCH2OH + COCl2→ PhCH2OC(O)Cl + HCl
Phosgene is used in excess to minimise the production of the carbonate (PhCH2O)2C=O.
The use of phosgene gas in the lab preparation carries a very large health hazard, and has been implicated in the chronic pulmonary disease of pioneers in the usage of the compound such as Zervas. |
