Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in this work proved to be an efficient reaction medium for the reaction of vicinal halohydrin with carbon dioxide in the presence of a base to synthesise cyclic carbonates. Notably, PEG-400 as an environmentally friendly solvent exhibits a unique influence on reactivity compared with conventional organic solvents. Various cyclic carbonates were prepared in high yield employing this protocol. The process presented here has potential applications in the industrial production of cyclic carbonates because of its simplicity, cost benefits, ready availability of starting materials, and mild reaction conditions.

A new core–shell nanoparticle containing the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin was formulated via amphiphilic graft copolymer self-assembly using curdlan- graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (curdlan -g-PEG). The graft copolymer was synthesized through the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide ester linkage of carboxylated PEG to the hydroxyl groups of the curdlan backbone. The nanoparticles were 109.9 nm in size and encapsulated doxorubicin in high yield (4%–5% wt/wt). The nanoparticles also controlled the release of doxorubicin over 24 h with a release profile that followed a Fickian diffusion model. The biocompatibility of curdlan- g-PEG was confirmed by hemolysis assay. This is the first nanoparticle formulated using the hydrophobicity of curdlan for concealing the immunomodulatory potential of curdlan within the core.

A new synthesis of monosubstituted tetraarylporphines is described based upon the soluble polymer supported synthesis strategy. Low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) is chloromethylated at both ends. These ends are then used to build up the polymer-bound ether of 5-(4′-hydroxymethyl)-10,15,20-tritolylporphine, which, after purification of the polymer, can be cleaved in high yield with TiCl4. While the method offers useful conveniences, such as the ease of separation and purification of the desired material, the overall yield is low: 100 mg from 40 g of polymer. Oligomerization of the polymer during chloromethylation increases the polymer molecular weight and thereby decreases the number of end groups per gram of polymer. Keywords: porphyrin, tetraaryl, monosubstituted poly(ethylene glycol) oligomerization, polymer-supported synthesis.
