Description
Methylamino-PEG2-t-butyl ester is a PEG linker with a methylamino group and a t-butyl-protected ester. The methylamine group allows for efficient reactivity with carboxylic acids and carbonyl compounds, while the t-butyl ester provides acid-labile protection for controlled carboxylic acid activation. The PEG2 spacer enhances water solubility and hydrophilicity.
Applications
Methylamino-PEG2-t-butyl ester is used in research to develop functionalized molecules, explore amine-reactive conjugations, and study acid-mediated deprotection mechanisms. Its dual-functional groups enable versatile applications in linker design, biomolecular modifications, and the synthesis of hydrophilic materials for experimental studies.
