This paper investigates the transesterification of methyl 3-mercaptopropionate (MP-SH) with tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEG)s catalyzed by Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) without the use of solvent (in bulk). The progress of the reactions was monitored by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. We found that the reactions proceeded in a step-wise manner, first producing monothiols. TEG-monothiol was obtained in 15 min, while conversion to dithiol took 8 h. Monothiols from PEGs with Mn = 1000 and 2050 g/mol were obtained in 8 and 16 h, respectively. MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry verified the absence of dithiols. The synthesis of dithiols required additional fresh CALB and MP-SH. The structure of the products was confirmed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Enzyme catalysis was found to be a powerful tool to effectively synthesize thiol-functionalized TEGs and PEGs.
