Description
N-Boc-PEG5-alcohol is a PEG linker featuring a Boc-protected amino group and a terminal hydroxyl group. The Boc group provides acid-labile protection, allowing controlled deprotection to expose the amine. The PEG5 spacer enhances hydrophilicity and solubility in aqueous environments, while the hydroxyl group allows for further chemical modifications.
Applications
N-Boc-PEG5-alcohol is widely used in research to create functionalized linkers and hydrophilic conjugates. The hydroxyl group enables additional derivatization, and the Boc-protected amine supports targeted functionalization, making it suitable for studying molecular interactions, designing biocompatible materials, and developing advanced biomolecular scaffolds.
