Benzyl-PEG4-alcohol is a PEG linker with an acid labile, benzyl protecting group and a reactive primary alcohol. The primary alcohol can react and further derivatize the compound. The hydrophilic PEG linker increases the water solubility of the compound in aqueous media.

Triethylene Glycol Monobenzyl Ether is used in the preparation of self-assembled monolayers with multiple binding sites and biocompatible imprinted cavities for biosensor application. Also used in the synthesis of novel ethoxylated inositol surfactants.
