Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA (Nα-Z-Nᶦⁿ-Boc-L-tryptophan dicyclohexylammonium salt) is a doubly protected L-tryptophan derivative featuring two orthogonal protecting groups. The molecule consists of an L-tryptophan core with a carbobenzoxy (Z) group protecting the α-amino functionality and a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group protecting the indole side chain nitrogen.
Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA is a premium protected amino acid derivative designed for the synthesis of tryptophan-containing peptides where side-chain reactivity must be carefully controlled. The Z group in Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA protects the α-amino functionality and can be selectively removed by hydrogenolysis, while the Boc group safeguards the indole side chain and is cleaved under acidic conditions. The dicyclohexylammonium salt form of Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA provides enhanced crystallinity and stability compared to the free acid, making it easier to handle and store. As a doubly protected tryptophan building block, Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA enables the construction of complex peptide sequences without compromising the integrity of the tryptophan side chain.

Why Cosperpharm?
When your peptide synthesis requires protected tryptophan derivatives with verified purity and reliable supply, Cosperpharm delivers Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA with the quality assurance and technical support that demanding synthesis projects require.
Dual protection for challenging tryptophan chemistry. The indole side chain of tryptophan is notoriously reactive — prone to oxidation, alkylation, and other side reactions during peptide synthesis. Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA addresses this challenge with orthogonal Z and Boc protecting groups. Our analytical release protocol verifies both the integrity of the protecting groups and the absence of side-chain degradation products — because your complex peptide sequences depend on the quality of this building block.
Documentation that supports quality systems. Every shipment of Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific HPLC purity, optical rotation, and identity confirmation. Custom quality agreements, stability summaries, and additional documentation packages are available upon request for customers with stringent quality system requirements.
Flexible supply for every scale. Cosperpharm supplies Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA across the full range of applications — from gram-scale quantities for research and method development to multi-kilogram batches for process validation and commercial peptide manufacturing. R&D samples ship within 5–7 business days; bulk orders ship within 2–3 weeks.
Technical support from peptide chemistry experts. Our team has extensive experience with protected amino acid chemistry and can advise on deprotection strategies, coupling conditions, and compatibility with various peptide synthesis platforms. We understand the unique challenges of working with tryptophan-containing peptides and can help optimize your synthetic route.
Global reach with transparent pricing. Cosperpharm ships to pharmaceutical manufacturers, CROs, and research institutions worldwide, with full customs documentation included. Volume discounts apply at larger scales, and we communicate lead times upfront — no hidden fees, no unexpected delays.
FAQ
Q1: What do the protecting groups Z and Boc stand for?
A: Z stands for carbobenzoxy (benzyloxycarbonyl) — a protecting group for the α-amino functionality that is removed by hydrogenolysis. Boc stands for tert-butyloxycarbonyl — a protecting group for the indole side chain nitrogen that is removed under acidic conditions. Together, they provide orthogonal protection for tryptophan residues during peptide synthesis.
Q2: Why is tryptophan side-chain protection necessary?
A: The indole side chain of tryptophan is highly reactive and prone to oxidation, alkylation, and other side reactions during peptide synthesis. The Boc group protects the indole nitrogen, preventing these unwanted reactions and preserving the integrity of the tryptophan residue.
Product Quality Assurance
Cosperpharm has established a comprehensive quality assurance system for Z-Trp(Boc)-OH.DCHA that meets the rigorous expectations of peptide synthesis and pharmaceutical research applications:
