Azido-PEG10-acid is a water soluble PEG compound containing an azide group with a terminal carboxylic acid. The azide (N3) group is reactive with alkyne, BCN, DBCO via Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. 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.
Azido-PEG10-acid is a PEG-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[1]. Azido-PEG10-acid is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
