A macrocyclic sulfate (MCS)-based approach to monodisperse poly(ethylene glycols) (M-PEGs) and their monofunctionalized derivatives has been developed. Macrocyclization of oligo(ethylene glycols) (OEGs) provides MCS (up to a 62-membered macrocycle) as versatile precursors for a range of monofunctionalized M-PEGs. Through iterative nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of MCS without performing group protection and activation, a series of M-PEGs, including the unprecedented 64-mer (2850Da), can be readily prepared. Synthetic simplicity coupled with versatility of this new strategy may pave the way for broader applications of M-PEGs. Macrocycles make synthesis easier: Convenient macrocyclization of the OEGs provides versatile macrocyclic sulfates. These compounds are cornerstones for both monofunctionalization of OEGs and highly efficient synthesis of monodisperse PEGs and derivatives, including an unprecedented 64-mer.
Synthesis of isoprenoid chain-contained chemical probes for an investigation of molecular interactions by using quartz crystal microbalance

Five probes including four that contained isoprenoid chain were synthesized. These probes were assembled onto the gold-coated quartz crystal chips for analysis of their interactions with four yeast proteins by using the quartz crystal microbalance technology. Results showed that 3-phosphoglycerate phosphokinase and triosephosphate isomerase had clear interactions with certain probes, while glutathione reductase and phosphoglucose isomerase gave much lower interaction signals. It also suggested that 3-phosphoglycerate phosphokinase had two sites interacting with the probe attached with a geranyl moiety. Further molecule simulation experiments provided supportive information on these intermolecular interactions. Together, our data suggested that there are hydrophobic interactions, with relatively good selectivity, between isoprenoid chain and proteins.

2,7-Octadienyl ethers of tri- and tetraethylene glycol (C 8:2E3 and C8:2E4) have been synthesized by the atom-economical butadiene telomerization of the corresponding poly(ethylene glycols). On one hand, this synthetic path is attractive because it is expeditious and environmentally benign, and on the other hand, it provides unconventional amphiphiles for which the lipophilic chains possess two double bonds. These two unsaturations increase the global hydrophilicity of the compound, which is also highlighted by the modelization of the compounds using the conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS). The behavior of C8:2E3 and C8:2E4 in binary amphiphile/water and ternary amphiphile/oil/water systems is therefore greatly modified compared to that of the conventional fully saturated homologues (C 8E3 and C8E4) that are easily obtained after hydrogenation. This results in a lowered efficiency of the unsaturated compounds for oil solubilization. The usual Winsor-type microemulsion systems are formed, and for the same oil, the DLS investigation of the microstructure of the Winsor I microemulsion does not highlight any difference in the self-association between the unsaturated and saturated compounds.

Page/Page column 9, (2010/02/15)
A simple chain-extending approach was established for the scale-up of the monoprotected monodisperse PEG diol materials. Reactions of THP-(OCH2CH2)n—OMs (n=4, 8, 12) with a large excess of commercially available H—(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=1-4) under basic conditions led to THP-(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=5-15). Similarly, Me-(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=4-11, 13) were prepared from Me-(OCH2CH2)n—OMs (n=3, 7, 11). For the chain elongation steps, 40-80% yields were achieved through extraction purification. PEG oligomer libraries I and II were generated in 50-95% overall yields by alkylation or acylation of THP-(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=1-15) followed by deprotection. Alkylation of Me-(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=1-11, 13) with X—(CH2)m—CO2R (X=Br or OMs) and subsequent hydrolysis led to PEG oligomer library III in 30-60% overall yields. Combinatorial purification techniques were adapted to the larger-scale library synthesis. A total of 498 compounds, each with a weight of 2-5 g and a minimum purity of 90%, were synthesized.
