Abstract

A process for making substituted polyethylene glycol compound. The compound has the formula RO(C2H40)nH wherein R represents a C1–7 hydrocarbon group and n represents the average number of moles of C2H40 groups, ranging from 500 to 2000. The compound has a ratio of weight average molecular weight to a number average molecular weight in the range of from 1 to 1.1. The compound contains less than ten weight percent polyethylene glycol. The gist of the process is the use of a polyether solvent, wherein the n value of the compound ranges from 600 to 2000.
