ROP of a bicyclic lactone, 2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-one ,([2.2.2]VL,), was systematically investigated under different conditions to obtain a series of ,P[2.2.2]VL,s with variable stereochemistry. The ,cis, to ,trans, isomerization mechanism under strong basic conditions was elucidated together with the effect of stereochemistry on the polymer properties.
Polyesters with cyclic structures in the main chain typically possess superior mechanical and thermal properties together with chemical recyclability. Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of bridged or fused bicyclic lactones is a simple, and in most cases controlled method to synthesize polyesters with alicyclic moieties in the polymer backbone. The stereochemistry of the alicyclic structures has a great effect on the polymer properties, which can be regulated by varying the polymerization conditions. Here, we report a systematic investigation on the ROP of 2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-one (,[2.2.2]VL,) under different conditions. When initiated by ,n,-butyl lithium (,n,-BuLi) or catalyzed by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) in the presence of benzyl alcohol,P[2.2.2]VLs, containing all ,cis,-1,4 disubstituted cyclohexane ring were obtained. However,P[2.2.2]VLs, initiated by sodium methoxide (MeONa) or catalyzed by organic superbase contained both ,cis, and ,trans, isomeric structural units. The ,cis, to ,trans, transformation mechanism under these conditions was manifested, and the effect of stereochemical variations on the properties of ,P[2.2.2]VL, was revealed. The stereoregular ,P[2.2.2]VLs, both ,cis, and ,trans, exhibited higher crystallinity and melting temperatures (,T,m,) than those of the stereoirregular isomers. Finally, the degradation of ,P[2.2.2]VL, with acid at high temperature could recover 3-cyclohexenecarboxylic acid.
