Glycidyl Ethers from Acyclic Terpenes: A Versatile Toolbox for Multifunctional Poly(Ethylene Glycol)s with Modification Opportunities

Multifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers (mfPEGs) are accessible via the anionic copolymerization of functional epoxides with ethylene oxide (EO). Glycidyl ethers are conveniently synthesized from bio-renewable alcohols and epichlorohydrin (ECH). Herein,...
