Description
t-Butyl (2-(2-(2-iodoethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)carbamate is a PEG-based linker featuring a Boc-protected amine and an iodine group. The Boc group provides acid-labile protection for the amine, while the iodine atom serves as an excellent leaving group for nucleophilic substitution. The hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances solubility in aqueous media.
Applications
t-Butyl (2-(2-(2-iodoethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)carbamate is used in organic synthesis, bioconjugation, and drug development. It facilitates nucleophilic substitution reactions and offers controlled amine deprotection under mild acidic conditions, making it ideal for targeted functionalization and the creation of complex molecular architectures in pharmaceutical research.
