Pentaethylene Glycol CAS 4792-15-8 Purity >98.0% (GC)

Pentaethylene Glycol (CAS: 4792-15-8) is an intermediate in the synthesis of cyclic and noncyclic polyethers, complexing agents and immobilized phase-transfer catalysts. Pentaethylene glycol is a useful synthetic intermediate, and is used as a reagent to synthesize macrocyclic oligoesters through lipase-catalysis. It acts as a catalyst for potassium hydroxide induced elimination reactions in benzene. Further, it is used in functional fluids and viscosity adjustors. Pentaethylene Glycol is a PEG-based PROTAC linker that is applicable to the synthesis of PROTACs. Applicated in medical research, drug-release, nanotechnology and new materials research, cell culture. In the study of ligand, polypeptide synthesis support, a graft polymer compounds, new materials, and polyethylene glycol-modified functional coatings and other aspects of the active compound. Pentaethylene Glycol is a polymer consisting of ethylene glycol monomers and two terminal hydroxyl groups. The PEG chain can increase the water solubility of a compound in aqueous media. Increasing the number of ethylene glycol units within the entire chain improves the solubility properties of the PEG linker. Pentaethylene Glycol is part of a group of compounds called polyethylene glycols (PEGs), which are major byproducts of non-ionic surfactants biodegradation.
