Synthesis and Characterization of Well-Defined Lactic Acid-PEG Cooligomers and Its Tricarbonyl Rhenium Conjugates
This article describes the synthesis and characterization of hydroxyl tailored, molecularly defined biodegradable cooligomers capable of chelating rhenium for potential radio-pharmaceuticals. New insights were gained during the synthesis of lactide based on dimethylaminopyridine-catalyzed transesterification. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
