IMPROVED SYNTHESIS OF TETRAETHYLENE GLYCOL-DERIVED THIOL FOR MONOLAYER-PROTECTED GOLD NANOPARTICLES
Improved synthesis of ω-functionalized mercapto-tetraethylene glycols and single-phase synthesis of gold nanoparticles are described. Tetraethylene glycol is converted to mercaptotetraethylene glycol through thioacetate-protected tetraethylene glycol. The formation of disulfide byproducts are easily...
