NH-bis (PEG8-OH)

NH-bis (PEG8-OH) is a homobifunctional reagent containing two alcohols joined together by a secondary amine. The alcohols can be used in a variety of ways such as in forming esters with carboxylic acids, while the secondary amine can be used as a nucleophile in linking with ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids. The PEG spacers make this molecule water-soluble, potentially altering its DMPK properties.
