Abstract

Abstract A convenient approach to the synthesis of oligo (ethylene glycols) under phase transfer conditions is described. Oligo (ethylene glycols)(x= 7-12) are obtained in excellent yields and high purity via modular, bi-directional elongation of readily available ethylene glycol bis-tosylates.
