Description

5-Azidopentanoic Acid Methyl Ester is a versatile bifunctional organic compound featuring both an azide group and a methyl ester. This molecular structure makes it a valuable click chemistry reagent and a key building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. It is primarily used by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, bioconjugation, and materials science sectors for applications requiring selective and efficient chemical ligation.

Application

• Click Chemistry Reagent: Utilized in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions for the rapid and reliable synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly those requiring bioorthogonal functionalization.
• Bioconjugation and Labeling: Used to modify peptides, proteins, antibodies, and other biomolecules by introducing azide handles for subsequent labeling or attachment.
• Polymer and Materials Science: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent for creating functional polymers, hydrogels, and surface coatings with tailored properties.
• Chemical Probe Synthesis: Employed in medicinal chemistry for the development of chemical probes and tools to study biological processes.
• Agrochemical Research: Used as an intermediate in the development of novel crop protection agents and herbicides.

Quality Control

Our 5-Azidopentanoic Acid Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high purity, identity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, purity by HPLC, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment supports applications in GMP-ready environments and research requiring reliable, specification-grade materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to the presence of the azide functional group, handle and store away from strong reducing agents and sources of heat or ignition. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
