Polymerization of l,l-Dilactide Initiated by Tin(II) Butoxide
Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of l, l -dilactide (LA) polymerization, initiated with tin(II) butoxide (Sn(OBu) 2 ) and carried out in THF solvent (from 20 to 80 °C) or in bulk (at 120 °C), were studied. Polarimetric and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) measurements showed that initiation was fast and quantitative; termination and intramolecular transesterification (backbiting) were not observed. According to the 1 H NMR and MALDI-TOF spectra analysis, both alkoxide groups in Sn(OBu) 2 were converted into poly( l -lactide) (PLA) growing chains, and monomer addition proceeded with the acyl−oxygen bond scission. SEC and osmometric measurements revealed that number-average molar masses ( M n ) of PLA chains were equal to the ratio 144.13([LA] 0 − [LA])/2[Sn(OBu) 2 ] 0 in the range of M n from 10 3 up to ≈10 6 . Propagation was first order (internally) in LA; it was also approximately first order in initiator (at least for [Sn(OBu) 2 ] 0 > 10 -3 mol L -1 ). The rate constant of propagation ( k p, for one macroalkoxide chain) was equal to 0.5 mol -1 L s -1 (THF, 80 °C). Agreement of the kinetic plots determined by SEC and polarimetry indicated that racemization did not take place. The k p / k tr2 = 125 (where k tr2 is the intermolecular transesterification rate constant) was measured at 80 °C, belonging to the highest values from those determined until now.

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.
