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.
Applications
This compound may find valuable uses in areas such as drug formulation, polymer science, and materials engineering, where its solubility and functional characteristics can be exploited to achieve specific desired effects.
