Product Description
4-Azidobutylamine is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker and belongs to the alkyl chain class. 4-Azidobutylamine may be utilized to prepare a range of PROTAC molecules. The PROTAC molecule contains two different ligands connected by a linker; one is the E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand, and the other is the target protein ligand. PROTAC utilizes the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins. 4-Azidobutylamine is a click chemical reagent. It has an azide (N3) moiety and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing an alkyne group. SPAAC (Strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition) may also happen with compounds bearing a BCN or DBCO group.
4-Azidobutylamine (also known as 4-azidobutan-1-amine) is an alkyl chain-based PROTAC linker and click chemistry reagent. It consists of a four-carbon (C4) alkyl chain with a terminal azide (N3) group and a terminal primary amine (NH2) group. This heterobifunctional linker is used in the synthesis of PROTAC molecules, where the azide can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing alkyne groups to form a stable triazole linkage, and the primary amine can be conjugated to carboxylic acid-containing ligands via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS coupling. The C4 alkyl spacer provides a short, flexible, and hydrophobic connection. The molecular formula is C4H10N4, and the molecular weight is 114.15. It has a standard purity of ≥98% and appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid. It should be stored at -20degC for long-term stability, sealed, away from moisture.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PROTAC Linkers.
ln Vitro
As a linker molecule, 4-Azidobutylamine itself has no intrinsic biological activity; it serves as a structural connector to join a target protein ligand and an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand in PROTAC synthesis. The azide group is a bioorthogonal handle that reacts with alkyne groups under click chemistry conditions (CuAAc) to form a stable triazole linkage. This reaction is highly specific and can be performed under mild conditions. The primary amine can be conjugated to a carboxylic acid-containing ligand via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS. The C4 alkyl spacer provides a short, flexible, hydrophobic connection between the conjugated ligands. The orthogonal functional groups (azide and amine) enable stepwise conjugation to two different ligands.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo activity has been reported for this linker alone; its activity is derived from the final PROTAC molecule after conjugation with appropriate ligands. The in vivo efficacy of a complete PROTAC is determined in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
N/A; this compound is not assessed in isolated enzyme/receptor binding assays. As a synthetic intermediate, its quality is typically confirmed by analytical methods such as HPLC and NMR, with a standard purity of ≥98%. The azide group can be characterized by its characteristic IR absorption at around 2100 cm-1. The primary amine can be characterized by its characteristic chemical shift in NMR spectroscopy (e.g., a broad singlet around 1-2 ppm). The IUPAC name is 4-azidobutan-1-amine.
Cell Assay
N/A; this linker is not tested alone in cell-based assays. It is used as a building block for constructing PROTACs. In a typical synthesis, the azide group is reacted with an alkyne-containing ligand via CuAAc using CuSO4 and sodium ascorbate as catalyst in a THF/water mixture. The primary amine is reacted with a carboxylic acid-containing ligand using EDC and NHS to form an amide bond. The resulting PROTAC is then tested in cells for target degradation activity. The short C4 alkyl spacer may be optimal for target-E3 ligase pairs that require a short, hydrophobic linker.
Animal Protocol
N/A; no animal studies are performed with the linker alone. For a complete PROTAC conjugate, in vivo studies are conducted following institutional guidelines. The compound is typically formulated using a vehicle containing DMSO, PEG300, Tween-80, and saline and administered via intraperitoneal (IP) or intravenous (IV) injection. The short C4 alkyl spacer may affect the lipophilicity and cellular permeability of the final PROTAC.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
This compound has a molecular weight of 114.15, a molecular formula of C4H10N4, and a standard purity of ≥98%. The IUPAC name is 4-azidobutan-1-amine. It appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid. For storage, it should be kept as a liquid at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed, away from moisture. It is soluble in DMSO (≥250 mg/mL) and other organic solvents. The product should be stored in a sealed container, protected from light. The azide group should be handled with care as it can be potentially explosive, especially in concentrated form or when exposed to heat or shock. CAS: 88192-20-5.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
This product is for research use only and is not for human or veterinary use. Standard chemical safety precautions should be observed during handling. The azide group should be handled with care to avoid premature reactions and potential explosion hazards. The primary amine is reactive and should be stored away from acids and oxidizing agents. It is not an approved therapeutic drug and has not been cleared for clinical use. PROTAC is a registered trademark of Arvinas Operations, Inc., and is used under license.

Additional Infomation
4-Azidobutylamine is a simple, short, heterobifunctional alkyl linker that combines a click chemistry handle (azide) with a primary amine for amide coupling. The C4 alkyl chain provides a short, flexible, hydrophobic spacer that can be beneficial for PROTACs targeting intracellular proteins where a certain degree of lipophilicity is required for cellular permeability. This linker is also widely used in bioconjugation, surface functionalization, and the synthesis of photoaffinity probes. The azide group enables CuAAc click chemistry with alkyne-functionalized ligands, providing a versatile and efficient conjugation strategy.
