Amino-modified Nucleosides
8-Azidoadenosine
Quick view. An adenosine nucleoside bearing an azido group at purine C8. CAS 4372-67-2. Catalog target purity: ≥98%. Availability: Inquiry only — contact BX Lab to confirm current availability.
Product profile
8-Azidoadenosine is classified as 8-azido adenosine nucleoside (Formula C10H12N8O4; molecular weight 308.25 g/mol).
8-Azidoadenosine is useful as a bioorthogonal handle for post-synthetic conjugation to fluorophores, affinity tags, surfaces, peptides or other functional payloads.
For 8-Azidoadenosine, copper-catalyzed, copper-free or inverse-electron-demand click conditions can affect sensitive oligonucleotides differently; residual metal, solvent and purification strategy should be controlled.

Product-specific evaluation notes
Potential advantages
- Click-compatible handles separate oligonucleotide synthesis from late-stage labeling, which helps screen multiple payloads from a common intermediate.
- Reactive handles make the product adaptable across dye-labeling, surface-coupling and ligand-conjugation workflows.
Method limitations
- Copper-catalyzed, copper-free or inverse-electron-demand click conditions can affect sensitive oligonucleotides differently; residual metal, solvent and purification strategy should be controlled.
- Functional handles may require orthogonal protection, pH control and rapid purification to avoid hydrolysis, oxidation or cross-reaction.
