Properties
Description
Hydroxy-PEG24-t-butyl ester is a PEG linker featuring a terminal hydroxyl group and a t-butyl-protected carboxyl group. The PEG24 chain enhances hydrophilicity and solubility in aqueous environments. The hydroxyl group supports versatile chemical modifications, while the t-butyl ester offers acid-labile protection for controlled activation of the carboxylic acid.
