mPEG-Glycidyl

Methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-glycidyl ether (mPEG-Glycidyl) is a monofunctional precision PEG derivative with a defined chain length. One end bears a methoxy group. The other end bears a glycidyl ether group. Discrete chain lengths with different degrees of polymerization are available. The epoxide can undergo ring-opening addition with suitable nucleophiles, such as amines or thiols, for subsequent segment linking and material crosslinking. Capping one end defines the direction of derivatization, enabling the hydrophilic PEG segment to be attached to a target molecule and functional linkers of the required length to be constructed.
