Abstract We examined ring‐opening polymerizations (ROPs) of ε‐caprolactone in toluene at 25–50 °C catalyzed by perfluoroalkanesulfonates and perfluoroalkanesulfonimides as organic catalysts. The ROPs proceeded quickly using these super Brönsted acids synthesized poly(ε‐caprolactone)s ( M n = 4.8 × 10 3 –13.5 ) with low polydispersity w / 1.10–1.48). These strong living ε‐caprolactone. After polymerization, Nf 2 NH was recovered reused. To survey solvents, CHCl tetrahydrofuran (THF) were used...
We examined ring-opening polymerizations (ROPs) of ε-caprolactone in toluene at 25−60 °C catalyzed by scandium perfluoroalkanesulfonates and perfluoroalkanesulfonimides. Using these catalysts, which have strong electron-withdrawing ligands, the ROPs proceeded quickly. Under identical conditions, were completed more rapidly for reactions trifluoromethanesulfonimide [Sc(NTf2)3] nonafluorobutanesulfonimide [Sc(NNf2)3] than those trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)3]. It was possible to...

The physical properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) are influenced by its stereoregularity and stereosequence distribution, polymer stereochemistry can be effectively studied NMR spectroscopy. In previously published studies PLA tacticity, the data were fitted to pair-addition Bernoullian models. this work, we prepared several samples with a tin catalyst at different L,L-lactide D,D-lactide ratios. Upon analysis tetrad intensities model, found substantial deviations between observed...
In this article, we described the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ϵ-caprolactone using a polymer-supported scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)3] catalyst (PS−Sc) under mild conditions. system, it is possible to synthesize poly(ϵ-caprolactone) PCL (Mn = 4.1−10.8 × 103) with low polydispersity (Mw/Mn 1.12−1.16). The Arrhenius equation was used investigate reaction kinetics. Furthermore, in two-step polymerization, molecular weight increased without broadening distributions. A...
We demonstrate a new system for the combination of chain and step polymerizations in which scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)3] catalyzes both polymerization modes. Ring-opening ϵ-caprolactone initiated from diol was carried out acetonitrile at 45 °C (Mn =1.2 × 103−3.6 103, Mw/Mn = 1.3). After removing under reduced pressure, bulk polycondensation with methylsuccinic acid performed 100 15 h to give polyester an excellent yield (92−94%): Mn were respectively 1.4 104 1.9. To check...
Abstract To synthesize polyesters and periodic copolymers catalyzed by nonafluorobutanesulfonimide (Nf 2 NH), we performed ring‐opening copolymerizations of cyclic anhydrides with tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 50–120 °C. At high temperature (100–120 °C), the anhydrides, such as succinic anhydride (SAn), glutaric (GAn), phthalic (PAn), maleic (MAn), citraconic (CAn), copolymerized THF via to produce ( M n = 0.8–6.8 × 10 3 , / w 2.03–3.51). Ether units were temporarily formed during this...

Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone using a polymer-supported scandium catalyst (PS-Sc) under mild conditions made it possible to synthesize poly(ε-caprolactone) (Mn = 4.1–10.8 × 103) with narrow polydispersity (Mw/Mn 1.12–1.22). The propagation rates were comparable that catalyzed by trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)3]. After polymerization, the was easily recovered and can be reused for ROP.
