Properties
Description
t-Boc-N-amido-PEG1-NHS ester functions as a PEG linker featuring both an NHS ester and Boc-protected amino groups. The hydrophilic nature of its PEG spacer enhances solubility in aqueous solutions, while the Boc group can be removed under mild acidic conditions to produce free aminogroups suitable for additional conjugations involving primary amines t-from proteins or modified oligonucleotides.
Molecular Formula
C14H22N2O7
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
t-Boc-N-amido-PEG1-NHS ester is frequently employed in peptide synthesis and modification. The t-Boc protecting group is useful for controlling the reaction sequence and protecting specific amino groups during synthesis. The PEG moiety can improve the solubility and stability of the peptides. It can be used to prepare peptide conjugates for targeted drug delivery, where the PEG chain helps in evading the immune system and increasing the circulation time.
