Aryl azides perfluorinated

Of the following amine-reactive and photoreactive crosslinkers, the overwhelming majority use an aryl azide group as the photosensitive functional group. Only a few use alternative photoreactive chemistries, particularly perfluorinated aryl azide, benzophenone, or diazo compounds. For general background information on photoreactive crosslinkers, see Das and Fox (1979), Kiehm and Ji (1977), Vanin and Ji (1981), and Brunner (1993). 

Particular attention has been devoted this year to the study of fluorinated aryl azides. This interest stems from their potential use as photoaffinity probes due to the ease with which perfluorophenyl nitrene undergoes C-H bond insertion. Perfluorin-ated azide derivatives of methyl benzoate afford photochemically...
