Application

4-(4′-Hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid may be used to synthesize 4-(4-propyloxyphenylazo)benzoic acid via Williamson synthesis by reacting with 1-bromopropane.
Azobenzene cleavable linker. Treatment with sodium dithionite (sodium hydrosulfite) reduces azo functionality, cleaving the N-N bond to yield two primary amines.
Has been used in proteomic and affinity chromatography applications.

A new chemically-cleavable linker has been synthesised for the affinity-independent elution of biomolecules by classical affinity chromatography. This azo-based linker is shown to couple efficiently with "click" derivatised ligands such as biotin propargyl amide through a copper(I)-catalysed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition
A mild chemically cleavable linker system for functional proteomic applications.
