Description
Bromo-PEG10-t-butyl ester is a PEG linker featuring a bromide group and a t-butyl protected carboxyl group. With its hydrophilic PEG spacer, it enhances solubility in aqueous media. The bromide (Br) acts as an efficient leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the t-butyl protected carboxyl group can be selectively deprotected under acidic conditions.
Applications
Bromo-PEG10-t-butyl ester finds widespread utility in bioconjugation and chemical synthesis. It serves as a crucial tool for functionalizing biomolecules and surfaces, facilitating the attachment of various functional groups for applications in drug delivery.
