Application

2-[2-(Boc-amino)ethoxy]ethanol is N-terminal protected 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol. It is generally used as a molecular spacer/linker. Some of such applications are:
  • Synthesis of biotinylated HaloLigands to prepare quantum dot adducts for HaloTag protein-mediated specific labeling of live cells.
  • It is one of the key precursors for the total synthesis of tyroscherin and photo-activatable tyroscherin-based affinity reagent used for identification of tyroscherin binding proteins.
  • It can be used to link HaloTag enzyme with fluorescent zinc indicator, ZIMIR to monitor the dynamics of regulated secretion of zinc in real time.
  • It can also be used to synthesize amphiphiles for DNA and siRNA delivery.
