摘要

Four

-based complexes with different sidearms were prepared and applied for controlled polymerization of pentadecalactone (PDL) furnishing polyesters with

high up to 90.3 kg/mol. Well-defined block copolyesters and random copolyesters with tailored

has also been obtained by copolymerizing PDL with small-lactones with controlling the polymerization condition.

Abstract

It remains a challenging task to achieve ring-opening (co)polymerization (ROP) of macrolactones. Hence

we synthesized a series of

-based catalysts and systemically investigated the effect of N-containing substituent on the sidearms on ROP of macrolactones.

Al3

possessing

-methyl group could effectively achieve controlled ROP of pentadecalactone (PDL) and macro(di)lactone ethylene brassylate (EB) in combination with BnOH

furnishing polyethylene-like PPDL and PEB with

up to 90.3 and 321 kg/mol

respectively. Random copolymerization of PDL and small-ring lactones

-caprolactone (

-CL) and

-valerolactone (

-VL) could prepare random copolyesters with tailored

in the range of 57−94 °C by controlling the ratios of PDL and

-CL

-VL. More importantly

well-defined block copolyesters could be obtained by sequential adding PDL and

-CL

-VL

which have been proved by GPC-MALLS

DSC and

C-NMR.
