Description
Bromo-PEG6-t-butyl ester is a PEG linker with a bromide group and t-butyl-protected carboxyl group. Its hydrophilic PEG segment enhances solubility in aqueous solutions. The bromide acts as an excellent leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the t-butyl group can be removed under acidic conditions.
Applications
Bromo-PEG6-t-butyl ester finds application in bioconjugation and chemical synthesis, especially for modifying biomolecules and surfaces. It can be used to attach various functional groups or molecules to proteins, peptides, or nanoparticles, enabling the design of advanced materials for drug delivery.
