Properties
Description
TBDMS-PEG5 is a PEG linker with a TBDMS (tert-butyldimethylsilyl) alcohol protecting group and a terminal hydroxyl group. The TBDMS group offers stability during synthesis and can be selectively removed using acetyl chloride. The PEG5 chain enhances solubility and hydrophilicity in aqueous environments.
