S-(4-Azidobutyl) ethanethioate

The Uses of S-(4-Azidobutyl) ethanethioate

S-(4-Azidobutyl) Ethanethioate is an intermediate in the synthesis of (R)-1-Azido-4-(methylsulfinyl)-butane (A854530), used in the preparation of (R)-Sulforaphane (S699105).

The Uses of S-(4-Azidobutyl) ethanethioate

Used in the formation of Self-Assembled Monolayers on gold electrodes to modify its work function.

General Description

S-(4-Azidobutyl)thioacetate is used as a precursor in the formation of organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metals. They are chemisorbed onto metal surfaces to form self-assembled monolayers with a high degree of structural order. They are often used as a molecular template to form functional nanostructures.
