Properties
Description
Azido-PEG4-CH2CO2-t-Bu ester features both an azide group and a t-butyl protected carboxylic acid within its structure. The presence of the azide allows it to engage in click chemistry reactions, while the protected carboxyl prevents self-coupling or polymerization during standard acid/amine or acid/hydroxyl coupling processes. The t-butyl ester can be deprotected through either acidic or basic hydrolysis methods, and the hydrophilic PEG spacer improves solubility in aqueous media.
Molecular Formula
C14H27N3O6
Functional Group 3
t-Butyl
Solubility
DMSO, DCM, DMF
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
This compound is commonly used in bioconjugation and organic synthesis. The azide group enables click chemistry reactions for conjugation, and the carboxylate and t-butyl groups offer possibilities for protection and controlled reactivity. It can be used to modify biomolecules or in the synthesis of small molecule conjugates for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
