Description
N-Boc-PEG8-alcohol is a PEG linker featuring a terminal hydroxyl group and a Boc-protected amino group. The PEG8 chain enhances hydrophilicity and solubility in aqueous media. The hydroxyl group supports versatile chemical modifications, while the Boc group offers acid-labile protection, allowing controlled release of the amine functionality.
Applications
N-Boc-PEG8-alcohol is used in drug delivery, bioconjugation, and material synthesis. The hydroxyl group enables further functionalization, and the Boc-protected amine allows precise deprotection under acidic conditions, making it ideal for developing hydrophilic linkers and functional biomaterials in pharmaceutical research.
