Properties
Description
C18-PEG4-Azide is a PEG linker featuring an 18-carbon alkyl chain (C18) and a terminal azide group. The hydrophobic C18 tail is ideal for constructing lipid-based compounds, while the hydrophilic PEG4 spacer improves water solubility. The azide group is reactive in Click Chemistry, enabling precise conjugation with alkyne-containing molecules.
Molecular Formula
C26H53N3O4
