Aspects of the present invention are directed to novel methods for making discrete polyethylene compounds selectively and specifically to a predetermined number of ethylene oxide units. Methods which can be used to build up larger dPEG compounds (a) containing a wider range of utility to make useful homo- and heterofunctional and branched species, and (b) under reaction configurations and conditions that are milder, more efficient, more diverse in terms of incorporating useful functionality, more controllable, and more versatile then any conventional method reported in the art to date. In addition, the embodiments of the invention allow for processes that allow for significantly improving the ability to purify the intermediates or final product mixtures, making these methods useful for commerial manufacturing dPEGs. Protecting groups and functional groups can be designed to make purification at large scale a practical reality. The novel dPEG products form the compositional and material basis for making other novel compounds of valuable application in the fields of diagnostics and therapeutics, amongst others.
本发明的方面是针对制备离散聚乙烯化合物的新方法,可以有选择地和特定地制备出预定数量的氧化乙烯单元。这些方法可以用于构建更大的dPEG化合物(a),其中包含更广泛的实用性,以制备有用的同、异功能性和分支物种,以及(b)在反应配置和条件下,这些条件比迄今为止报道的任何传统方法更温和、更高效、更多样化,更具有控制性和更具有多功能性。此外,本发明的实施例允许进行显著提高中间体或最终产物混合物纯化能力的过程,使这些方法对于商业生产dPEGs非常有用。保护基和功能基可以设计成使大规模纯化成为现实。新型dPEG产品形成了用于制备其他有价值应用于诊断和治疗等领域的新型化合物的组成和材料基础。
