Examples 1-16 illustrate the experimental procedure for screening some of the key parameters of the synthetic routes of the present invention. Experiments prove that in examples 1-4, the overall yield of mPEG-PA is increased in a certain trend when the amount of sodium hydride is increased within a certain range, but the overall yield of mPEG-PA is slightly reduced due to the increase of the viscosity of the reaction solution when the amount is increased to 150 eq. Comparative examples 7 and 9 show that potassium tert-butoxide is superior to sodium methoxide in reaction effect.
Comparing examples 6 and 7, it is known that when potassium t-butoxide is used as the base, toluene is selected as the solvent to increase the mPEG-OH conversion. Meanwhile, in comparative examples 15 and 16, it is understood that when sodium hydride is used as the base, tetrahydrofuran is selected as the solvent, and the conversion of mPEG-OH can be improved.
Compared with the examples 1, 2 and 5 and the examples 7 and 8, the yield of the monomethoxy polyethylene glycol propionic acid can be improved to a certain extent by properly increasing the dosage of the beta-halogenated ester, which is favorable for the reaction, but after the dosage of the beta-halogenated ester exceeds 10eq, the dosage is continuously increased, the conversion rate is not increased, and therefore, the dosage of the beta-halogenated ester is preferably about 10 eq. In comparative examples 10-13, the conversion rate of monomethoxy polyethylene glycol propionic acid is increased along with the increase of the mPEG-OH reaction concentration in a certain range, and the reaction concentration of the invention is preferably 75 mg/ml-150 mg/ml.
In the embodiments 1-16 of the present invention, the amount of NHS and DCC is appropriately reduced, preferably 1.1-1.5 eq, dichloromethane is selected as a reaction solvent, the reaction concentration is preferably about 100mg/ml, the monomethoxy polyethylene glycol propionic acid is completely reacted, and the product purity is high. The purities of the target products in fig. 7-12 were 97.48%, 97.12%, 98.95%, 98.69%, 99.27%, 99.91%, respectively.
