CHO-Ph-CONH-PEG2-COOtBu is a heterobifunctional PROTAC linker featuring a phenyl amide core connected to a short, two-unit polyethylene glycol spacer (PEG2) and terminated with a protected carboxylate (tert-butyl ester). The amide and ether-rich PEG segment provide conformational flexibility and improved aqueous compatibility, while the tert-butyl ester serves as a masked acidic handle that can be converted to a free carboxyl group under standard conditions to enable further coupling to targeting ligands or E3 ligase recruiters. In PROTAC architectures, such linkers help position the two binding moieties at an appropriate distance and orientation to promote formation of the ternary complex and subsequent ubiquitination-driven degradation. This product is valuable for researchers optimizing linker length, polarity, and attachment chemistry when building degraders for mechanistic studies, structure–activity relationship mapping, and iterative synthesis of next-generation targeted protein degradation candidates.

CHO-Ph-CONH-PEG2-COOtBu, is designed to connect a binding ligand to an E3-recruiting moiety through a flexible polyethylene glycol spacer and a stable amide linkage. Its ether-rich PEG segment can improve solubility and conformational adaptability, supporting efficient formation of productive ternary complexes. The protected carboxylate functionality enables modular conjugation strategies used in targeted protein degradation workflows.
Structure: The linker contains an aromatic phenyl ring linked to a carbonyl and an amide nitrogen, followed by a short polyethylene glycol segment and a terminal ester-protected carboxylate. It features amide and ether linkages, with a tert-butyl ester that is chemically stable under mild conditions yet readily deprotected when needed.
Reactivity: The tert-butyl ester can be deprotected using standard acid-mediated conditions to reveal a carboxylic acid for subsequent coupling. For PROTAC assembly, carboxylate activation (for example, via common coupling reagents) enables formation of amide bonds with complementary amine-bearing ligands. The PEG-containing portion is generally compatible with aqueous/organic solvent mixtures used in peptide-ligand conjugation, supporting reliable stepwise synthesis.
