Azido-PEG4-Amido-tri-(t-butoxycarbonylethoxymethyl)-methane
Azido-PEG4-Amido-tri-(t-butoxycarbonylethoxymethyl)-methane is a functionalized, azide-bearing polyethylene glycol linker designed for modular PROTAC synthesis. Structurally, it comprises a short PEG4 spacer terminating in an azide handle and an amide-linked tri-substituted methane core bearing three orthogonally protected ethoxymethyl carbonate groups, which can be deprotected to reveal reactive sites for subsequent conjugation. In PROTAC architectures, the PEG spacer provides a flexible, hydrophilic distance element that can improve ternary complex formation by reducing steric clashes between the target-binding ligand and the E3 ligase ligand. The azide functionality enables copper-free or copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (“click”) to install the linker onto complementary alkyne-bearing partners under mild conditions. This product is valuable for researchers who need precise, site-selective attachment chemistry and tunable linker geometry to systematically evaluate degradation efficiency and selectivity in targeted protein degradation studies.

This branched, multifunctional linker presents an azide for modular click attachment and several acid-labile ester termini for later diversification. Its oligoether-amide framework offers conformational reach and a central branching element suited to multivalent or exploratory PROTAC architectures. Detailed features appear below.
Structure: The molecule contains an azido-terminated oligoether segment connected through a stable amide to a tetrahedral branch center bearing ether-linked tert-butyl propanoates. Ether and carbon–carbon single bonds provide flexibility, while the amide adds polarity and local conformational constraint.
Reactivity: The terminal azide participates in cuprous-catalyzed cycloaddition with an alkyne in a water-compatible organic medium, typically using a copper-stabilizing ligand and reducing agent. Acid treatment removes the tert-butyl esters to furnish a polycarboxylic intermediate; its acids can then be activated for amide formation. Controlled stoichiometry and temporary protection are important to limit mixed substitution or intermolecular crosslinking.
