Description

14-Azido-Tetradecanoic Acid is a bifunctional organic compound featuring a long-chain carboxylic acid and a reactive azide group, making it a valuable click chemistry reagent and a versatile building block for chemical synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to participate in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions, enabling efficient and selective conjugation. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, bioconjugation, and materials science sectors who require a reliable, high-purity linker for creating complex molecular architectures, such as polymer modifications, surface functionalization, and prodrug development.

Application

• Click Chemistry Reagent: A key precursor for CuAAC (Huisgen cycloaddition) reactions to create triazole linkages.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Synthesis: Used to label biomolecules (proteins, peptides, antibodies) with fluorescent dyes, drugs, or other functional groups.
• Polymer & Materials Science: Serves as a functional monomer or cross-linker for modifying polymer backbones and creating smart materials.
• Surface Functionalization: Applied to graft specific functionalities onto nanoparticles, chips, or other solid supports for sensor development.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of novel drug candidates and targeted prodrugs.
• Lipid & Fatty Acid Research: Acts as a tagged fatty acid analog for metabolic tracing and membrane studies.
