Description

Azide CAS NO 14343-69-2 is a versatile and reactive inorganic salt widely used as a key precursor in synthetic chemistry. Its primary value lies in its ability to act as a source of the azide anion (N₃⁻), which is crucial for click chemistry reactions and the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science industries, where it facilitates the development of new active ingredients and functional polymers. Its reactivity profile makes it indispensable for creating complex molecular architectures efficiently.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A critical reagent in the preparation of tetrazole rings, which are common pharmacophores in drug discovery, and in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Click Chemistry: Serves as a key starting material for generating organic azides used in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions, a cornerstone of bioconjugation and polymer science.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators that incorporate nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structures.
• Polymer & Materials Science: Employed to modify polymers and create cross-linked networks or to introduce functional azide groups for subsequent material functionalization.
• Energetic Materials Research: Acts as a component in the development and study of specialized propellants and pyrotechnic compositions under controlled research settings.
• Chemical Biology: Utilized as a tool for labeling and probing biological systems through bioorthogonal chemistry techniques.

Quality Control

Our Azide CAS NO 14343-69-2 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Key parameters, including assay/purity, heavy metal content, and loss on drying, are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider maintaining the product under an inert atmosphere to mitigate potential oxidation. Keep away from strong acids and heavy metals.
