Br-PEG4-CH2CH2COOtBu, also known as Bromo-PEG4-t-butyl ester, is a type of PEG linker featuring a bromide group (Br) and a t-butyl protected carboxyl group (COOtBu). The bromide group acts as a leaving group in nucleophilic substitution reactions, facilitating the conjugation of the linker to biomolecules or other substrates through nucleophilic attack. The t-butyl protected carboxyl group serves as a temporary protecting group for the carboxylic acid functionality, which can be selectively removed under acidic conditions, revealing a reactive carboxyl group for further conjugation reactions.
Besides, Br-PEG4-CH2CH2COOtBu is a cleavable ADC linker with four units of PEG, making it suitable for the synthesis of ADCs.
