Description
N-(t-butyl ester-PEG6)-N-bis(PEG6-azide) is a three-arm PEG reagent that features one t-butyl ester group and two azide groups. The t-butyl esters can be deprotected under acidic conditions. The azide moieties are capable of reacting with alkyne compounds, BCN, and DBCO through click chemistry methods to form stable triazole linkages.
Applications
In the area of materials science, it can be incorporated into polymer matrices to impart specific properties such as improved flexibility and hydrophilicity. In the realm of bioconjugation chemistry, it can be utilized to attach biomolecules like proteins or antibodies for applications in diagnostics or therapeutics.
