Straightforward synthesis of cholesterol functionalized aliphatic -substituted 8-membered cyclic carbonate (Chol-8m) monomer is reported. Well-defined poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) diblock copolymers were readily accessed via organo catalytic ring opening polymerization. These polymers show promise as building blocks for self-assembled nanostructures and steric stabilizers for liposomes.
报道了胆固醇官能化脂肪族取代的八元环状碳酸酯(Chol-8m)单体的直接合成方法。通过有机催化开环聚合可轻松制备出结构明确的聚乙二醇(PEG)二嵌段共聚物。这些聚合物有望作为自组装纳米结构的构建单元和脂质体的空间稳定剂。
