Description 2-Ethyl-2-oxazoline is an oxazoline which is used particularly as a monomer for the cationic ring-opening polymerization to poly(2-alkyloxazoline)s. This type of polymers are under investigation as readily water-soluble and biocompatible materials for biomedical applications.
Application Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) is a hydrophilic polymer that is commonly used in biomedical s. This is a biocompatible polymer with one chain-end functionalized with a thiol group which is commonly used in ligation as well as in thiol-ene click chemistry. These polymers are commonly used as an amorphous alternative to PEGs.
Features And Benefits 2-Ethyl-2-oxazoline is a colorless liquid that is easily soluble in water, also soluble in various organic solvents, and has an amine odor. The aqueous solution is alkaline. The compound is stable in alkali, but hydrolyzes under the action of acid.
