mPEG4-thiol is a methoxy-capped PEG thiol linker component containing an ether-rich spacer and a terminal sulfhydryl group. Its thiol handle enables chemoselective conjugation with maleimide, haloacetamide, activated disulfide, and related thiol-reactive partners, allowing researchers to introduce PEGylated thioether or disulfide-linked segments into PROTAC-related intermediates. The PEG chain can contribute hydrophilicity and conformational mobility. This product is useful for preparing linker-modified degrader analogues, constructing probe-oriented conjugates, and evaluating how sulfur-containing PEG linker motifs affect molecular presentation, conjugation efficiency, and targeted degradation research workflows.

mPEG4-thiol is a methoxy PEG thiol linker that combines hydrophilic PEG spacing with thiol-directed conjugation chemistry. It is suitable for PROTAC designs requiring thioether connectivity and improved polar character without introducing a long spacer. The molecule is described below.
Structure: The linker contains a methoxy-terminated PEG chain and a terminal thiol group. It features flexible ether bonds, a polar nonionic backbone, and a sulfur nucleophile for selective coupling.
Reactivity: The thiol can undergo Michael addition with maleimide-functional fragments or nucleophilic substitution with activated haloalkyl partners. Reactions are commonly conducted under mild, non-oxidizing conditions in polar organic or aqueous-organic solvents. Fresh thiol solutions, compatible base, and minimized competing electrophiles support clean PROTAC intermediate formation.
