Description
Tr-PEG3 is a PEG linker containing a trityl-protected ether group and a short PEG3 chain. The trityl ether offers acid-labile protection and can be removed under mild acidic conditions or through hydrogenolysis. The PEG3 chain enhances the hydrophilicity and solubility of the compound in aqueous media, making it suitable for diverse chemical applications.
Applications
Tr-PEG3 is utilized in research for developing functionalized linkers and studying protection-deprotection mechanisms. Its trityl group provides temporary protection for reactive hydroxyl groups, while the hydrophilic PEG3 chain facilitates solubility, making it ideal for use in multistep synthesis and material science research.
