Properties
Description
3-(m-PEG12-ethoxycarbonyl)propanoic acid is a unique chemical compound. It incorporates a PEG12 (polyethylene glycol with 12 units) moiety attached via an ethoxycarbonyl linker to a propanoic acid backbone at the 3-position. The long PEG12 chain significantly enhances the compound's solubility in aqueous and organic solvents, which broadens its application potential. The ethoxycarbonyl and propanoic acid functional groups offer possibilities for chemical reactions and modifications.
