Abstract

1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD), N -methyl-TBD (MTBD), and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) are effective organocatalysts for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters such as lactide (LA), δ-valerolactone (VL), and ε-caprolactone (CL). TBD is shown to polymerize LA, VL, and CL in a fast and controlled manner, whereas MTBD and DBU polymerized LA and addition of a thiourea cocatalyst led to the ROP of VL and CL being achieved. Each of the catalysts produced polymers displaying high end group fidelity, good correlation between theoretical and observed molecular weight, and linear relationships between conversion and molecular weight. The enhanced activity of TBD relative to MTBD and DBU is attributed to its bifunctionality, enabling the simultaneous activation of both the cyclic ester monomer and the alcohol group of the initiator/propagating species. Temperature-dependent NMR studies generated individual association constants for MTBD with benzyl alcohol and thiourea with VL. In combination with temperature-dependent ROP of VL in the presence of benzyl alcohol, MTBD, and thiourea, these data have led to the derivation of the activation energy for the ROP (49 ± 3 kJ mol -1 ). The simplicity of the reaction conditions, the ready availability of the catalysts, the variety of polymerizable cyclic ester monomers, and the exquisite control over the polymerization are demonstrated.

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.
