Properties
Description
Hydroxy-PEG7-t-butyl ester is a PEG linker featuring a terminal hydroxyl group and a t-butyl-protected carboxyl group. The PEG7 spacer enhances water solubility and hydrophilicity in aqueous environments. The hydroxyl group provides versatility for chemical modifications, while the t-butyl ester offers acid-labile protection for controlled carboxylic acid activation.
