Description
Bromoacetamido-PEG8-t-butyl ester is a versatile PEG linker featuring a bromide group and a t-butyl protected carboxyl group. The hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances solubility in aqueous solutions. With the presence of the bromide (Br) group, it serves as an effective leaving group for facilitating nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Applications
Bromoacetamido-PEG8-t-butyl ester finds applications in bioconjugation and chemical synthesis, particularly in the modification of biomolecules and the construction of functionalized surfaces. Its compatibility with aqueous media makes it suitable for conjugation reactions in biological environments.
