Enzymatic Preparation of Malate-Based Polycarboxylates Having Higher Molecular Weights by Copolymerization with Lactone
Abstract
A strategy for increasing the molecular weight of malate-based polycarboxylates by the enzymatic polymerization of benzyl β-malolactonate (BML) with organic additives was studied. The lipase-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of BML was significantly promoted by the addition of a small amount of β-propiolactone (PL) to yield polycarboxylates having an Mw of 32000 without a significant decrease in the inherent carboxy content.

Functional lactones, such as the four-membered β-lactone benzyl β-malolactonate, were polymerized by lipases to yield corresponding functional polyesters.
“Functional lactones, such as for example the four-membered β-lactone benzyl β-malolactonate (Scheme 18) [165], were polymerized by lipases to yield the corresponding functional polyesters.”

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.
