Benzyl-PEG-Succinimidyl Carbonate, MW 2,000

Benzyl-PEG-Succinimidyl Carbonate, MW 2,000

Benzyl-PEG-Succinimidyl Carbonate, MW 2,000 is a PEG linker containing a succinimidyl carbonate and a benzyl-protected alcohol. The succinimidyl carbonate is a good leaving group that is easily substituted by amines or alcohols with ease under mild conditions. The benzyl protecting group can be removed by hydrogenation to reveal an alcohol group, which is a versatile scaffold towards further building chemical complexity.
