Kinetics and Mechanism of l-Lactide Polymerization Using Two Different Yttrium Alkoxides as Initiators

Stevels, Willem M., Ankoné,, Marc J. K., Dijkstra, Pieter J., Feijen, Jan·1996·Macromolecules

Abstract

Polymerization of l -lactide in dichloromethane at 25 °C using an initiating system comprising tris(2,6-di- tert -butylphenoxy)yttrium and 2-propanol was first order in monomer and initiator. A propagation rate constant of 1.92 × 10 3 L mol -1 min -1 was determined using in situ UV spectroscopy. In the first step the large 2,6-di- tert -butylphenoxy ligands are exchanged for the sterically less demanding 2-propoxide ligands. In the second step the alkoxide is able to attack the carbonyl group with formation of the ring-opened product. After the first two initiating steps the polymerization can proceed until the equilibrium conversion of monomer is reached. Evidence for these three steps is provided by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy of the reaction products of each step. The kinetic behavior of commercially available yttrium isopropoxide was more complicated.

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.
