Description
Hydroxy-PEG3-methylamine is a PEG linker featuring a hydroxyl group and a methylamine group. The hydroxyl group provides a site for further chemical modifications or functional group replacements, while the methylamine group reacts efficiently with carboxylic acids, carbonyls (ketones, aldehydes), and other electrophiles. The PEG3 spacer enhances solubility and hydrophilicity in aqueous media.
Applications
Hydroxy-PEG3-methylamine is used in research for developing functionalized linkers, exploring bioconjugation strategies, and synthesizing hydrophilic compounds. Its dual-functional groups allow for versatile applications in molecular modifications, surface engineering, and the creation of advanced materials in experimental studies.
