All solvents (methanol, dichloromethane, and tetrahydrofuran) as well as ethyl vinyl ether (99%, Aldrich) were purified by distillation. Deionized water was obtained from a Millipore MilliQ system and additionally filtered through a 220 nm PTFE filter. Allyl glycidyl ether (99% Fluka) was distilled under reduced pressure. KOH (Merck), 1,2-propandiol (Aldrich), benzene (Merck), p-toluenesulfonic acid (Merck), and 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (Aldrich) were used without purification. Hexa(ethylene glycol)dithiol (Sigma-Aldrich, > 97%, Mn = 314.46 g mol−1) (HEGDT), O-(2-mercaptoethyl)-O′-methyl-hexa(ethylene glycol) (Sigma-Aldrich, ≥ 95%, Mn = 356.48 g mol−1) (HEGMT) and poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether thiol (Sigma-Aldrich, Mn = 2000 g mol−1) (PEGMET) were used as received.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
