Properties
Description
Hydroxy-PEG8-t-butyl ester is a functionalized PEG linker comprising a terminal hydroxyl group and a t-butyl ester-protected carboxyl group. The hydroxyl group provides a reactive site for chemical modifications, while the t-butyl ester ensures stability and controlled deprotection under acidic conditions. The PEG8 chain enhances solubility in aqueous environments, making it highly hydrophilic and versatile for various applications.
