Abstract
A facile and green approach for the preparation of PEGn-NH2s from PEGn-N3s in water with DTT as the reduction reagent has been developed, avoiding the introduction of metal ions and difficulties in purification compared to the traditional synthesis process of PEGn-NH2s. A series of high-purity linear and multiarm PEGn-NH2s with different molecular weights were synthesized, demonstrating the versatility of this method. Additionally, HS-PEG45-NH2 with high fidelity of thiol and amine was easily prepared through the one-step two functional group conversion of N3-PEG45-S-S-PEG45-N3, and the PEG-based NH2-PEG@AuNPs were also prepared. This technology will promote the application of PEGn-NH2s in the fields of medicine and biomaterials.
