摘要

A series of quinolinyl-urea catalysts were synthesized and evaluated to be highly active in the ring-opening polymerization of δ-VL in combination with MTBD. Linear PVLs with narrow molecular weight distribution were obtained and the “living”/controllable characteristic of ROP was verified by the kinetic and chain extension experiments.

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

]

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 wer

e 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.
