Synthetic use | Methyl 2-azidoacetate is widely used in the synthesis of triazole derivatives by alkyne azide click. Some of these examples include the synthesis of coumarin-triazole derivatives as potential anti-plasmodium drugs and histone deacetylase -1 (HDAC1) inhibitors containing macrocyclic triazole compounds. It can synthesize various pyrrole derivatives through Knoevenagel condensation reactions, which are used in the synthesis of near-infrared bipyrrole (BODIPY) donors for organic tandem solar cells. It can also be used to hemetsberg-knittel the synthesis of substituted 5-, 6-and 7-azaindole. High fluorescence pyrene [2,1-b] pyrrole was synthesized with methyl azidoacetate as reagent. |
