Description
N-(Hydroxy-PEG3)-N-bis(PEG4-t-butyl ester) is a branched PEG linker featuring a terminal hydroxyl group and two t-butyl ester-protected carboxyl groups. The hydroxyl group supports versatile chemical modifications, while the t-butyl groups offer acid-labile protection for controlled carboxylic acid activation. The PEG structure enhances solubility and biocompatibility in aqueous environments.
Applications
N-(Hydroxy-PEG3)-N-bis(PEG4-t-butyl ester) is used in drug delivery, bioconjugation, and advanced material synthesis. The hydroxyl group enables further functionalization, and the t-butyl esters provide precise carboxyl activation under acidic conditions, making it ideal for creating hydrophilic linkers and functionalized biomaterials in biomedical research.
