Description
Azido-PEG2-CH2CO2-t-Bu is a PEG compound that incorporates an azide group along with a t-butyl ester. The azide moiety can react with alkynes, BCN, and DBCO through click chemistry processes to form stable triazole linkages. Additionally, the t-butyl protected carboxylic acid can be deprotected under acidic conditions.
Applications
It can be used in the modification of proteins, peptides, or nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery or imaging applications. In the synthesis of polymers, it can be incorporated to introduce PEG segments and control the polymer properties.
