Description

4,7,10,13-Tetraoxatetradecan-2-Ol is a high-purity polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative, specifically a monomethyl ether of triethylene glycol, valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and solubilizing agent. Its structure provides excellent hydrophilicity and compatibility, making it a critical component in formulations requiring controlled polarity and solubility. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for advanced synthesis and product development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of prodrugs, drug conjugates, and as a linker molecule to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Serves as a monomer or chain transfer agent in the production of specialized polyethers, polyesters, and urethanes, imparting desired hydrophilicity and flexibility.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a non-ionic surfactant and co-solvent in pesticides and herbicides, improving the stability and dispersion of active ingredients.
• Chemical Synthesis Solvent/Co-solvent: Employed in reactions where a polar, high-boiling point solvent is required to facilitate solubility of reactants.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a humectant and moisturizing agent in creams, lotions, and other personal care products due to its hygroscopic nature.
• Electrolyte Additive: Investigated for use in battery electrolytes to improve ionic conductivity and electrode stability.
