4-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde CAS:308085-25-8 is a type of small molecule compound that is used in biochemical research as a photoaffinity label. It is composed of several functional groups, including a diazirine group, a hydroxyl group, and an aldehyde group.
The diazirine group in 4-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde is important for its photoaffinity labeling properties. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the diazirine group undergoes a reaction that forms a highly reactive carbene intermediate, which can then covalently bind to nearby proteins or other biomolecules. This allows researchers to selectively label and identify specific biomolecules within complex biological samples.
The hydroxyl group in 4-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)-3H-diazirin-3-yl)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde is important for its solubility and stability in solution, allowing it to be easily administered and used in biochemical assays. The aldehyde group is also important for its chemical reactivity and ability to form covalent bonds with other biomolecules.
