Description
Tetraethylene glycol is a hydrophilic polymer composed of four ethylene glycol units, featuring two reactive terminal hydroxyl groups. Its flexible, water-soluble backbone enhances solubility and biocompatibility, making it an ideal spacer or linker in various chemical applications.
Applications
Tetraethylene glycol is widely used in organic synthesis, surface modification, and as a solubilizing agent. The terminal hydroxyl groups enable further derivatization, allowing it to be incorporated into drug delivery systems, crosslinking reactions, and bioconjugation processes.
