Properties
Description
The research molecule pentafluorophenyl-PEG-mannose, also called mannose-PEG-pentafluorophenyl, is formed by functionalizing mannose with a 5 kDa PEG tether bearing a pentafluorophenyl group. It integrates mannose's lectin affinity, PEG's hydrophilicity, and pentafluorophenyl's utility.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 5 kDa
Functional Group
Pentafluorophenyl
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Applications
Mannose-PEG-pentafluorophenyl can be used to develop thiol-protection strategies using vinylsulfone-based reversible capping agents.
