Description
Hydroxy-Amino-bis(PEG1-t-butyl ester) is a branched PEG linker featuring a terminal hydroxyl group, an amino group, and two t-butyl-protected carboxyl groups. The hydroxyl group offers versatile sites for chemical modifications, while the t-butyl esters provide acid-labile protection for controlled activation of carboxylic acids. Its structure supports hydrophilicity and functionalization.
Applications
Hydroxy-Amino-bis(PEG1-t-butyl ester) is used in drug delivery, bioconjugation, and polymer synthesis. The hydroxyl and amino groups enable diverse functionalization, while the t-butyl esters allow precise carboxyl activation under acidic conditions, making it ideal for creating hydrophilic linkers and advanced materials in biomedical and pharmaceutical research.
