Boc-NH-PEG2-CH2COOH

Использование

t-Boc-N-amido-PEG₂-CH₂CO₂H is a heterobifunctional, PEGylated crosslinker featuring a Boc-protected amine at one end and a carboxyl group at the other. The hydrophillic PEG linker facilitates solubility in biological applications. t-Boc-N-amido-PEG₂-CH₂CO₂H can be used for bioconjugation or as a building block for synthesis of small molecules, conjugates of small molecules and/or biomolecules, or other tool compounds for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry that require ligation. Examples of applications include its synthetic incorporation into antibody-drug conjugates or proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTAC^? molecules) for targeted protein degradation.

Синтез

To a stirred solution of 2-(2-(2-Aminoethoxy)ethoxy)acetic acid (5.0 g, 30.6 mmol) in 1,4-Dioxane (50 mL), Sodium carbonate (8.12 g, 76.5 mmol, dissolved in 10 mL water) and (Boc)2O (9.98 mL, 45.7 mmol) were added and stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mass was partitioned between diethyl ether and water. Then, the aqueous layer was made acidic (pH = 3) by 3N HC1 solution and was extracted with DCM (2 x 200 mL). The organic layer was washed with water, and brine, dried over Na2504 and evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 50 g of pure Boc-NH-PEG2-CH2COOH (Yield:62.1 per cent).
