6-Azide-Trehalose (6-TreAz)

6-Azide-Trehalose is a compound that is often used in chemical biology, bioconjugation, and glycobiology research.The azide group can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or "click chemistry" with alkynes or other compounds containing terminal alkynes. This property makes 6-Azide-Trehalose valuable in bioorthogonal labeling and functionalization of biomolecules, as well as in metabolic labeling and imaging studies. The trehalose backbone also provides stability and protection to the azide group, allowing for specific targeting and conjugation without compromising the functional group.
