Description

Methyl 11-Azidoundecanoate is a bifunctional organic compound featuring both an azide group and a methyl ester, making it a versatile click chemistry reagent and a valuable building block for polymer science. Its primary value lies in enabling efficient, modular synthesis through copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions, allowing for the precise functionalization of materials and biomolecules. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and bioconjugation who require reliable, high-purity intermediates for advanced synthesis.

Application

• Click Chemistry Reagent: A key precursor for CuAAC reactions to create triazole linkages in drug discovery and polymer synthesis.
• Polymer Functionalization: Used to introduce azide handles into polymer backbones (e.g., polyethylene glycol, polyesters) for subsequent cross-linking or labeling.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Synthesis: Facilitates the attachment of fluorescent dyes, drugs, or other payloads to proteins, antibodies, or nanoparticles.
• Surface Modification: Enables the covalent grafting of functional layers onto material surfaces (metals, glass, plastics) for creating advanced coatings.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a synthetic building block in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of smart materials, hydrogels, and self-assembled monolayers with tailored properties.

Quality Control

Our Methyl 11-Azidoundecanoate is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and industrial applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to confirm identity and purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature, the container should be opaque or kept in dark conditions. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
