Application

Reactant for:
  • Synthesis of glutathione-sensitive cross-linked polyethylenimine gene vector
  • Preparation of cyclodextrin-containing polymers designed for gene delivery
  • Crosslinking of chick oviduct progesterone-receptor subunits

Caution

The reagant is readily hydrolyzed at neutral pH. Avoid use of reducing agents during coupling reactions.

Other Notes

Note that the amidine linkage preserves original primary amine positive charge. The disulfide linkage is cleavable by mild reduction. Incorporates an eight atom linker.

A random copolymer of isobutylene (IB) and 4-vinylbenzenecyclobutylene (4-VBCB) was synthesized by cationic polymerization at -80 °C using 2-chloro-2,4,4-trimethylpentane (TMPCl) as initiator. The laws of copolymerization were investigated by changing the feed quantities of 4-VBCB. The molecular weight of the
