Description
t-Boc-N-amido-PEG11-Tos is a reagent grade PEG linker with a Boc-protected amine group and a tosyl group. The PEG spacer increases water solubility. The tosyl group is used for nucleophilic substitution reactions. Under mildly acidic conditions, the Boc group is deprotected.
Applications
t-Boc-N-amido-PEG11-Tos plays a role in the manufacture of multifunctional polymers that are used in drug delivery systems, utilizing their amphiphilic nature to form micelles or hydrogels with controlled release properties.
