1-Propanol, 3-azido- Usage And Synthesis

Uses

3-azidopropan-1-ol is a useful research chemical.

Description

3-Azido-alcohol is a synthetic building block for adding an azide group with a hydroxyl handle. The azide group can react with alkyne such as BCN, DBCO, Propargyl group via Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups.

Uses

Small chain azido-alcohol for click chemistry applications.
