Abstract

Following our previous papers on the mechanism of cyclic esters polymerization induced by tin(II) octoate (Sn(Oct) 2 ) and particularly papers on ε-caprolactone (CL), the present work shows that l, l -dilactide/Sn(Oct) 2 does not differ mechanistically from the CL/Sn(Oct) 2 system. Sn atoms bonded through alkoxide groups to macromolecules were also observed by MALDI−TOF mass spectrometry. Formation of the actual initiator from Sn(Oct) 2 and a hydroxy group-containing compound (ROH) was envisaged by kinetic arguments. The appropriate experiments were carried out to show that some “mechanisms” put forward during the past few decades by several research groups were not sufficiently substantiated. Eventually, we conclude that l, l -dilactide/Sn(Oct) 2 polymerization proceeds by simple monomer insertion into the ...−Sn−OR bond, reversibly formed in the reaction ...−SnOct + ROH ⇌ ...−Sn−OR + OctH, where ROH is either the low molar mass co-initiator (an alcohol, hydroxy acid, or H 2 O) or a macromolecule fitted with a hydroxy end group. These interconversions take place throughout the whole polymerization process. Sn(Oct) 2 itself does not play an active role in the polymerization.

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.
