2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl 4-azidobenzoate CAS:55025-80-4 is a type of chemical compound that is commonly used in bioconjugation applications. It is composed of several functional groups, including a methacryloyloxyethyl group, a 4-azidobenzoate group, and an ester group.
The methacryloyloxyethyl group is a type of vinyl monomer that is commonly used in the synthesis of polymers and other types of materials. The 4-azidobenzoate group is a highly reactive group that can be used to attach the compound to other molecules, particularly those containing alkyne or cyclooctyne groups. The ester group is important for the solubility and stability of the compound in solution.
In bioconjugation applications, 2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl 4-azidobenzoate can be used to attach proteins or peptides to surfaces, nanoparticles, or other molecules. The azido group can react with alkyne or cyclooctyne groups on the surface of the target molecule, forming a stable triazole linkage. The use of this linker molecule enables the attachment of proteins or peptides to surfaces, allowing for the creation of biomaterials or targeted drug delivery systems.
