Application

  • Methyl 2-azidoacetate is widely used as a precursor to build triazole derivatives via alkyne-azide click chemistry. Some of the examples include the synthesis of coumarin-triazole derivatives as potential antiplasmodial agents and macrocyclic triazole containing largazole analogs as histone deacetylases-1 (HDAC1) inhibitors.
  • It can be used to synthesize various pyrrole derivatives by Knoevenagel condensation as in the synthesis of near-infrared boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) donors for organic tandem solar cells.
  • It can also be used in Hemetsberger-Knittel synthesis of substituted 5-, 6-, and 7-azaindoles.
  • Synthesis of highly fluorescent pyreno[2,1-b]pyrroles using methyl 2-azidoacetate as one of the reagents.
