Abstract:Abstract: This experiment used mPEG with the molecular weights of 1200, 2000 and 5000 as raw materials and adopted the Jones reagent oxidation method to produce CmPEG at ambient temperature. Characterized by 1HNMR and IR, the product was proved to be CmPEG. The carboxyl conversion rate was taken as the index to find out that the most proper molar ratio of Cr2O3 and mPEG was 2 to 1. The carboxyl conversion rates of three products with different molecular weights were 99.63%, 99.4% and 98% respectively. This experiment adopted the solid-liquid extraction technique to reprocess these products and taked the appearance and color as indices. The result shows that the product is produced to be white and of high purity in the order of distilling acetone first and adding sodium bicarbonate to neutralize them next. Taking the yield of these products as the index, used mPEG with the molecular weights of 1000,1200, 2000 ,5000 and PEG with the molecular weights of 800 as raw materials, the experiment shows that this method applies to the preparation of the carboxylic acid derivatives of PEG which molecular weight is more than 2000 and mPEG which molecular weight is more than 1000. The yield of these five products with different molecular weights are 88.2%,93.5%,98.0%,98.2%,39.1% respectively. key word: Methoxypolyethylene glycols; Carboxyl-mPEG; Jones reagent; Cr2O3
