tert-Butyl 3-(2-iodoethoxy)propanoate is a PEG reagent containing an iodine group and a t-butyl ester. The iodine (I) acts as a good leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions. The t-butyl ester groups can be deprotected under acidic conditions.
Uses
tert-Butyl 3-(2-iodoethoxy)propanoate is a PROTAC linker, which refers to the PEG composition. tert-Butyl 3-(2-iodoethoxy)propanoate can be used in the synthesis of PROTAC FAK degrader 1 (HY-119932)[1].
