mPEG3-thiol is a methoxy-capped PEG thiol linker component containing a short ether-rich spacer and a terminal sulfhydryl group. The thiol handle can react with maleimide, haloacetyl, activated disulfide, vinyl sulfone, or other thiol-reactive partners to form sulfur-containing linker segments. In PROTAC chemistry, this product is useful for installing PEGylated thioether or disulfide-related motifs, modifying linker polarity, or preparing probe-oriented degrader analogues. It supports modular conjugation workflows and helps researchers evaluate how PEG-thiol-derived linkages and local hydrophilicity influence linker behavior in targeted protein degradation studies.

mPEG3-thiol is a methoxy PEG thiol linker for introducing a short polar spacer and a sulfur-based conjugation handle into PROTAC intermediates. Its terminal thiol enables chemoselective thioether formation with appropriate electrophilic partners. Structural and reactivity details are provided below.
Structure: The molecule contains a methoxy-capped oligoethylene glycol chain terminating in a thiol group. Ether bonds provide flexibility and hydrophilicity, while the sulfur-hydrogen terminus acts as a soft nucleophile.
Reactivity: The thiol reacts efficiently with maleimides through Michael addition and with haloalkyl or haloacetamide groups through substitution to form thioether linkages. Mild base or buffered conditions are commonly used to modulate thiolate formation. Oxygen exposure should be limited to suppress disulfide formation during PROTAC linker coupling.
