Description
Bromoacetamido-PEG3-Boc-amine is a PEG linker with a Boc-protected amino group and a bromide moiety. The Boc group can be selectively removed under mild acidic conditions, exposing the free amino group for further reactions. The bromide serves as an excellent leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, the hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances the compound's solubility in aqueous solutions.
Applications
Bromoacetamido-PEG3-Boc-amine is widely utilized in bioconjugation chemistry and drug delivery systems. The exposed amino group enables the conjugation of various molecules, such as proteins, peptides, or drugs, through amidation reactions. The bromide group facilitates nucleophilic substitution reactions, allowing for further functionalization or modification of the PEG linker.
