Description
Hydroxy-PEG11-t-butyl ester is a PEG linker featuring a terminal hydroxyl group and a t-butyl ester-protected carboxyl group. The hydroxyl group provides a versatile site for chemical modifications, while the t-butyl ester ensures stability and controlled deprotection under acidic conditions. The PEG11 chain enhances solubility in aqueous environments.
Applications
Hydroxy-PEG11-t-butyl ester is used in bioconjugation, drug delivery, and polymer synthesis. Its hydroxyl group supports further functionalization, and the t-butyl ester enables precise carboxyl activation, making it ideal for creating hydrophilic linkers and advanced materials in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
