Amino-PEG4-alcohol is a polyethylene glycol–based linker featuring a terminal primary amine and a terminal hydroxyl group, providing a flexible, hydrophilic chain of four ethylene glycol units. The two functional handles enable orthogonal conjugation strategies commonly used in PROTAC and targeted protein degradation workflows: the amino group can be used for amide coupling, reductive amination, or carbamate formation with activated carboxyl or carbonyl-containing partners, while the alcohol can serve as a reactive site after suitable functional group conversion (e.g., to an activated ester or leaving group) to connect to the second ligand. Its PEG architecture helps tune linker length, conformational mobility, and aqueous solubility, often improving productive ternary complex formation and reducing nonspecific hydrophobic interactions. As a modular building block, Amino-PEG4-alcohol is valuable for systematic linker optimization, facilitating rational comparison of degradation efficiency across PROTAC constructs while maintaining synthetic accessibility and compatibility with standard bioconjugation chemistries.

Amino-PEG4-alcohol is a polyethylene glycol-based linker featuring a terminal primary amine and a hydroxyl group, enabling versatile conjugation strategies in PROTAC architectures. Its ether-rich, flexible backbone supports effective spatial presentation of ligands while improving solubility and reducing nonspecific interactions. The linker’s bifunctionality makes it well suited for stepwise assembly of targeted protein degraders, where detailed synthetic considerations for coupling and functionalization are provided below.
Structure: The molecule contains a PEG chain composed of repeating ether units, terminating in a primary amine and a primary alcohol. Its flexible polyether segment provides conformational adaptability, while the amine and hydroxyl enable formation of stable linkages via common coupling chemistries and hydrogen-bonding interactions.
Reactivity: The terminal amine can be converted into activated intermediates (for example, amide formation via carboxylic acid activation) or used in reductive amination or carbamate-forming reactions, depending on the partner functional group. The alcohol can be functionalized through esterification or etherification under standard dehydrating or activating conditions. Typical coupling workflows employ amine-compatible bases, polar aprotic solvents, and carbodiimide or similar activation systems, following established PROTAC linker-conjugation principles.
