Description
Bromo-PEG3-CH2CO2tBu is a PEG linker featuring a bromide group and a t-butyl protected carboxyl group. The hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances solubility in aqueous solutions, while the bromide serves as an effective leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions. The t-butyl protected carboxyl group is susceptible to deprotection under acidic conditions.
Applications
Bromo-PEG3-CH2CO2tBu finds utility in bioconjugation and chemical modification reactions. Its bromide functionality facilitates nucleophilic substitution reactions, enabling the introduction of various functional groups or biomolecules. Moreover, the deprotection of the t-butyl carboxyl group allows for further derivatization, making it suitable for synthesizing diverse bioconjugates and molecular probes.
