Propargyl-PEG3-phosphonic acid is a crosslinker containing a propargyl group and a phosphonic acid. The propargyl group can react 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.
Propargyl-PEG3-phosphonic acid is a PEG-based PROTAC linker can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[1]. Propargyl-PEG3-phosphonic acid is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
