6-Bromohexylphosphonic acid [133345-66-1]

6-Bromohexylphosphonic acid is an alkyl chain-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs^[1].

PROTACs contain two different ligands connected by a linker; one is a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other is for the target protein. PROTACs exploit the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
