Monodisperse Amino-PEG4-t-butyl ester (NH2-PEG4-CH2CH2COOtBu) is a heterobifunctional PEG reagent containing an amino (NH2) and a t-butyl protected carboxyl group. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. The amino group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde) etc. The t-butyl protected carboxyl (Boc) can be deprotected under acidic conditions.

Amino-PEG4-t-butyl ester has various uses, it can be used for bioconjugation or as a building block for the synthesis of small molecules, conjugates of small molecules and/or biomolecules, or other tool compounds for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry that require ligation, such as
1) act as a linker-cytotoxin conjugate for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs);
2) act as a linker for peptide-drug conjugate formation;
​3) synthetic incorporation into proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTAC® molecules) for targeted protein degradation
