Polyethylene glycol-based macromonomers, chemically inert polymers prepared from such macromonomers and use of these polymers in organic syntheses and enzymatic reactions

摘要

In the present invention, there are disclosed macromonomers containing ethylene glycol repeat units, further chemically inert polymers prepared therefrom and the use of such polymers in solid phase biochemical assays. A macromonomer of polyethylene glycol having repeat units in the range 6 to 300 and having at least one end terminated by an ether group having the general formula I, in which m is an integer of 0 to 10, a represents an integer of 1 to 4, and R denotes a hydrogen atom or alkyl or aryl or arylalkyl; or having the general formula II, in which m is an integer of 1 to 10, and R represents a hydrogen atom or alkyl or aryl or arylalkyl.
