Propargyl-PEG6-alcohol is a PEG derivative containing a hydroxyl group and a propargyl group. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups. The propargyl group can be reacted with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed azide-alkyne Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media.
Application:
Applicated in medical research, drug-release, nanotechnology and new materials research, cell culture. In the study of ligand, polypeptide synthesis support, a graft polymer compounds, new materials, and polyethylene glycol-modified functional coatings and other aspects of the active compound. Alkyne-PEG5-OH, also known as Propargyl-PEG5-alcohol, is a type of PEG derivative featuring a propargyl (alkyne) functional group at one end and a hydroxyl group at the other end. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups. The propargyl group can be reacted with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed azide-alkyne Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage.
