4-Azidobutyric acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
4-Azidobutyric acid is a click chemistry reagent featuring azide and carboxylic acid moieties. The carboxylic acid group can conjugate with alcohols or amides, while the azide group serves as a click chemistry handle to react with terminal alkynes or strained cyclooctynes. 4-Azidobutyric acid also acts as a PROTAC linker for the synthesis of PROTACs.
