Endo-BCN-PEG3-acid is a BCN (bicyclononyne)–functionalized polyethylene glycol linker bearing a terminal carboxylic acid, providing a short, flexible PEG spacer between the BCN reactive handle and the acid group. The BCN moiety is designed for strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) with azide-containing partners under copper-free conditions, enabling rapid, bioorthogonal conjugation without the need for catalysts. In PROTAC and targeted protein degradation workflows, this linker can be used to connect or functionalize one PROTAC component (e.g., a ligand, warhead, or scaffold fragment) so that azide-bearing modules can be assembled into a full degrader with controlled geometry and improved solubility. The PEG3 spacer helps reduce steric clashes and can support more reproducible linker presentation to the binding domains, which is important for maintaining ternary-complex formation. Overall, it is a practical reagent for constructing degraders and related conjugates through modular, chemoselective coupling strategies.

Endo-BCN-PEG3-acid is a PEG-based PROTAC linker designed to connect targeting ligands through a strained bicyclononyne (BCN) handle and a terminal carboxylic acid for subsequent conjugation. Its flexible ethylene glycol spacer supports productive ternary complex formation, while the BCN moiety enables efficient bioorthogonal coupling in PROTAC assembly workflows. The structure and reactivity considerations for constructing PROTACs with this linker are described in detail below.
Structure: The linker comprises a BCN functional group attached to a short, flexible PEG chain terminating in a carboxylic acid. It features strained cycloalkyne chemistry, ether linkages within the PEG segment, and a terminal carboxyl group for derivatization. Overall, it is amphiphilic and suitable for solubilizing conjugates.
Reactivity: The BCN unit is commonly used in strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition with azide-bearing partners under catalyst-free conditions, typically in aqueous or mixed aqueous/organic buffers. The PEG spacer can improve reaction kinetics and solubility of intermediates. The carboxylic acid enables standard amide or ester formation using coupling reagents and appropriate bases, allowing modular attachment to targeting ligands or scaffold components.
