Description
Tr-PEG4 is a PEG linker featuring a trityl-protected hydroxyl group and a terminal hydroxyl group. The trityl group provides acid-labile protection, enabling controlled deprotection under acidic conditions. The PEG4 spacer enhances solubility in aqueous environments and supports hydrophilicity, making it versatile for various research applications.
Applications
Tr-PEG4 is used in research for synthesizing hydrophilic linkers, studying deprotection mechanisms, and modifying molecules or surfaces. The trityl group offers temporary protection during multi-step synthesis, while the hydroxyl group allows further functionalization, making it ideal for designing advanced materials and exploring molecular interactions.
