FmocNH-PEG-NHCbz

Alpha-(fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-protected amino)-omega-(benzyloxycarbonyl-protected amino) poly(ethylene glycol) (FmocNH-PEG-NHCbz) is a heterobifunctional precision PEG derivative with a defined chain length. The two ends bear Fmoc-protected amine and Cbz-protected amine groups, respectively. Discrete chain lengths with different degrees of polymerization are available. Fmoc protection facilitates sequential conjugation. Amine coupling can follow deprotection under conditions compatible with the target system. The Cbz-protected end retains a releasable amine precursor, allowing amine coupling and transformations at the other terminus to be performed sequentially. The two end groups can be coupled sequentially using compatible reactions and appropriate protection strategies, enabling surface immobilization, functional-molecule bridging, and directional spacer synthesis.
