3-[2-(2-Iodoethoxy)-ethoxy]-propyne

Bifunctional PEG2-based crosslinker having terminal alkyne and alkyl iodide groups.

Alkyl iodides are among the most powerful alkylators. They alkylate various O-, S-, N- and C-nuclophiles. This reactive derivative can be used for the preparation of different molecules with terminal alkyne group. Terminal alkyne is a versatile synthon that participates in Sonogashira coupling and click chemistry reaction.
