摘要

Abstract

Due to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability

aliphatic polyesters are widely used in the biomedical

packaging and agricultural fields

which are usually accessed by the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones and the catalysts particularly play an important role. Herein a series of quinolinyl-urea catalysts have been synthesized

via

the reaction between isocyanate and aminoquinoline with an amino group at different substitution positions and characterized. In combination with 7-methyl-1

7-triazabicyclo[4

0]dec-5-ene (MTBD) as a cocatalyst and benzyl alcohol (BnOH) as an initiator

1-(3

5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(quinolin-3-yl)urea (

3-QU

) was observed to be most active for the ROP of

-valerolactone (

-VL). The polymerization conditions were optimized by varying the type of organic base

catalyst concentration and reaction temperature. By changing the ratio of [M]

/[I]

linear polyvalerolactones (PVLs) with different molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distribution were prepared. The kinetic and chain extension experiments were carried out to prove the “living”/controllable feature. And the NMR experiments were used to support the proposal of possible mechanism.
