Description
endo-BCN-pentanoic acid is a click chemistry reagent containing a BCN group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The BCN group can react with azide-tagged compounds or biomolecules. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or HATU) to form a stable amide bond.
Uses
5-endo-BCN-pentanoic acid is an alkyl chain-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[1]. 5-endo-BCN-pentanoic acid is a click chemistry reagent, it contains a BCN group that can undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) with molecules containing Azide groups.
