Uses
N3-TFBA-O2Oc is a click chemistry reagent containing an azide group and an aryl group. Aryl azides are well-known precursors of nitrenes and have been introduced by Fleet et al. as versatile photoaffinity labeling agents to probe biological receptors. This type of compounds has been used as photo-cross linker (λmax=258 nm) in estrogen receptor studies and for direct surface coating of carbon and organic based polymers[1][2][3]. N3-TFBA-O2Oc 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.
