Carbamic-acid,[2-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl],9H-fluoren-9-ylmethyl-ester-(9CI)
Carbamic-acid,[2-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl],9H-fluoren-9-ylmethyl-ester-(9CI) (commonly referred to as Fmoc-PEG3-alcohol) is a high-purity PEG linker featuring an Fmoc-protected carbamate group for orthogonal conjugation and a terminal hydroxyl group for further functionalization. The PEG3 spacer enhances solubility, provides flexibility, and reduces steric hindrance, enabling efficient bioconjugation in both aqueous and organic systems. The Fmoc group allows controlled deprotection for stepwise linker assembly in applications such as drug discovery, diagnostics, and advanced materials.
