mPEG6-thiol is a methoxy-capped PEG thiol linker component with a flexible hydrophilic ether chain and a terminal sulfhydryl handle. The thiol can be used for conjugation to maleimide-bearing, haloalkyl, activated disulfide, or other thiol-reactive intermediates, enabling installation of sulfur-containing PEG spacer motifs. In PROTAC linker development, it is suitable for preparing PEGylated thiol-derived analogues and tuning linker polarity, flexibility, and local spacing. This product is valuable for modular conjugation strategy development, linker environment comparison, and targeted degradation studies requiring controlled thiol-reactive chemistry.

mPEG6-thiol is a methoxy PEG thiol linker used to introduce a flexible hydrophilic spacer and a thiol handle into PROTAC-related conjugates. Its longer PEG segment can enhance solvation and reduce steric congestion during staged assembly. Details are provided below.
Structure: The compound contains a methoxy-capped oligoethylene glycol backbone terminating in a thiol group. The ether-rich chain contributes polarity and conformational freedom, while the thiol provides nucleophilic sulfur reactivity.
Reactivity: The terminal thiol is suited to maleimide addition, haloacetamide alkylation, alkyl halide substitution, or disulfide exchange depending on the partner handle. Mild base or buffered systems are used to balance thiolate reactivity and functional-group stability. Low-oxidation handling helps prevent disulfide side products before PROTAC coupling.
