Description

4-Azidophenylacrylaldehyde is a specialized bifunctional organic compound that serves as a critical building block in advanced material synthesis. Its unique structure, featuring both a photoreactive azide group and a reactive aldehyde, enables efficient cross-linking and conjugation chemistries under mild conditions. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and bioconjugation sectors who require precise molecular tools for developing drug delivery systems, functional polymers, and diagnostic probes.

Application

• Photoaffinity Labeling Probes: Used in chemical biology and proteomics to study protein-ligand interactions and identify binding sites.
• Polymer Cross-Linking Agent: Serves as a key monomer or cross-linker in the synthesis of photosensitive and functional polymers, hydrogels, and resins.
• Bioconjugation Reagent: Facilitates the covalent attachment of biomolecules (e.g., peptides, sugars, drugs) to surfaces, nanoparticles, or other carriers via "click" or Schiff base chemistry.
• Surface Functionalization: Used to modify material surfaces (e.g., glass, gold, polymers) with reactive aldehyde groups for subsequent immobilization of biomolecules.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of more complex molecules for drug discovery and development programs.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of novel smart materials, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), and advanced coatings.

Quality Control

Our 4-Azidophenylacrylaldehyde is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and industrial applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 and potentially reactive nature, prolonged exposure to light, heat, or moisture should be avoided. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents.
