Synthesis and properties of (D)‐ and (L)‐lactide stereocopolymers using the system achiral Schiff's base/aluminium methoxide as initiator

Wisniewski, Muriel, Borgne, Alain Le, Spassky, Nicolas·1997·Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics

Abstract

The polymerization of lactides with various D/L enantiomeric compositions using achiral Schiff's base/aluminium methoxide as initiator (SALENAlOCH 3) in dichloromethane solution at 70°C is reported. The conversion was kept below 70% in order to limit transesterification reactions. The polymers obtained after precipitation show a narrow molecular weight distribution (ratio of weight‐ to number‐average molecular weights Mw/Mn = 1,1–1,2) and an optical rotation higher than that expected from the optical purity of the starting monomers. The examination of the thermal properties reveals that whatever their enantiomeric composition all the prepared polymers are crystalline. This unusual behavior is explained by an end‐chain propagation mechanism producing stereocopolymers with long enantiomeric sequences, i.e., increased isotacticity as substantiated by an examination of the microstructure of the polymers by means of 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance. A stereocomplex formation was observed for stereocopolymers with optical purities below 40%.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
