11-Azido-1-undecanethiol
11-Azido-1-undecanethiol (CAS: 668420-70-0) is an organic compound with the formula N3CH2(CH2)9CH2SH and a molecular weight of 229.39 g/mol. This bifunctional molecule features both an azide and a thiol group, making it valuable in chemical synthesis. It serves as a versatile building block for creating complex molecular architectures, particularly in materials science and micro/nanoelectronics applications.

Surface Modification
The thiol group readily binds to noble metal surfaces, such as gold, allowing for the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The terminal azide group can then be used for further functionalization via click chemistry or other azide-specific reactions.
Bioconjugation
This compound can be incorporated into molecules designed for bioconjugation, enabling the attachment of biomolecules to surfaces or other molecules. The azide moiety is particularly useful for copper-catalyzed or strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions.
Materials Science
Used as a building block in the synthesis of advanced materials, including polymers and functionalized nanoparticles. Its dual functionality allows for controlled integration into material structures and surfaces.
Organic Synthesis
Serves as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, providing a ten-carbon chain with reactive termini for complex molecule construction. It is particularly useful for introducing thiol and azide functionalities into organic frameworks.
