Description
Bromo-PEG5-alcohol is a PEG linker featuring a bromide group and a terminal hydroxyl group. The PEG5 spacer enhances solubility in aqueous environments. The bromide serves as an excellent leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the hydroxyl group allows for versatile chemical modifications and functionalization.
Applications
Bromo-PEG5-alcohol is used in organic synthesis, bioconjugation, and material development. Its bromide group facilitates efficient nucleophilic substitutions, and the hydroxyl group enables further functionalization, making it ideal for creating hydrophilic linkers and advanced materials in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
