Description
THP-PEG6 is a PEG linker with a tetrahydropyranyl (THP) protecting group and a terminal hydroxyl group. The THP group provides acid-labile protection for alcohol functionalities, and the hydroxyl group allows for versatile chemical modifications. The PEG6 spacer enhances solubility in aqueous environments.
Applications
THP-PEG6 is utilized in organic synthesis, bioconjugation, and drug delivery. The THP group enables controlled alcohol deprotection under acidic conditions, while the hydroxyl group supports further derivatization, making it ideal for creating hydrophilic linkers and functionalized materials in biomedical research.
