摘要

Four ,Al,-based complexes with different sidearms were prepared and applied for controlled polymerization of pentadecalactone (PDL) furnishing polyesters with ,M,w, high up to 90.3 kg/mol. Well-defined block copolyesters and random copolyesters with tailored ,T,m, 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 ,Al,-based catalysts and systemically investigated the effect of N-containing substituent on the sidearms on ROP of macrolactones. ,Al3, possessing ,N,-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 ,M,w, up to 90.3 and 321 kg/mol, respectively. Random copolymerization of PDL and small-ring lactones ,ε,-caprolactone (,ε,-CL) and ,δ,-valerolactone (,δ,-VL) could prepare random copolyesters with tailored ,T,m, in the range of 57−94 °C by controlling the ratios of PDL and ,ε,-CL,δ,-VL. More importantly, well-defined block copolyesters could be obtained by sequential adding PDL and ,ε,-CL,δ,-VL, which have been proved by GPC-MALLS, DSC and ,13,C-NMR.
