11-Azido-undecanoic acid Usage And Synthesis

Description

11-Azidoundecanoic acid is a linker containing an azide group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The azide group can react with alkyne, BCN, DBCO via Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or HATU) to form a stable amide bond.

Uses

11-Azidoundecanoic acid is a click chemistry reagent containing an azide group. 11-Azidoundecanoic acid acts as a hydrophobic bioconjugation linker that can be further modified at the azido-position using Staudinger ligation or Click-chemistry. 11-Azidoundecanoic acid is substrate of lipoic acid ligase (LpIA) for labeling[1][2]. 11-Azidoundecanoic acid is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
