title: Modified routes to the "designer" surfactant PQS.
abstract: Described herein are newly developed, straightforward entries to polyethyleneglycol ubiquinol succinate (PQS, n = 2), a designer surfactant that serves as precursor to micelle-forming, covalently bound catalysts for a variety of transformations in water with in-flask catalyst recycling.
