Title:
HETERO-BIFUNCTIONAL POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL DERIVATIVE AND METHOD FOR PREPARING IT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008174755
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for preparing a hetero-bifunctional derivative of poly(ethylene glycol) or a related polymer thereof with a high purity and in a high yield.
An intermediate polymer of the formula: W-poly-OH is provided with a removable group W at one terminus without going through a chromatographic purification step. The intermediate polymer W-poly-OH is first modified by converting the OH group into a first functional group X and subsequently removing W to produce a second hydroxyl group. Then, the latter hydroxyl group is converted into a second functional group Y to obtain the desired hetero-bifunctional derivative.
