Description
2-(Azido-PEG2-amido)-1,3-propandiol is a branched PEG derivative featuring a terminal azide group and two primary hydroxyl groups. The azide group facilitates copper-catalyzed Click Chemistry with alkyne, DBCO, and BCN moieties, while the hydroxyl groups allow for further chemical derivatization. The PEG2 spacer enhances hydrophilicity and solubility in aqueous media.
Applications
2-(Azido-PEG2-amido)-1,3-propandiol is used in bioconjugation, drug delivery, and material synthesis. Its azide group enables efficient Click Chemistry for biomolecule conjugation, and the hydroxyl groups support versatile functionalization, making it ideal for designing hydrophilic linkers and advanced materials in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
