摘要

Abstract

Polypeptides have been widely utilized in the fields of biomaterials and biomedicine. Ever since

-carboxyanhydride (NCA) was reported by Hermann Leuchs in 1906

ring-opening polymerization of NCAs has been extensively used to prepare polypeptides. Despite continuous innovations

it is still challenging to synthesize polypeptides in high molecular weight efficiently. To address this challenge

we developed KHMDS/NaHMDS initiated fast NCA polymerization that is also moisture tolerant

open-flask amenable and terminal tunable. This NCA polymerization was able to proceed in most common solvents and meet the solubility requirement of variable NCA monomers and corresponding polypeptides. KHMDS can initiate

-benzyl-L-glutamate-

-carboxyanhydride (BLG NCA) polymerization in a reaction rate 92 times faster than does hexylamine and 80 times faster than does triethylamine. This NCA polymerization also demonstrated easy and fast synthesis of gram-scale long chain polypeptides in an open flask.
