摘要

Abstract

The synthesis of block copolymers of poly(tetrahydrofuran)-

-poly(

-amino acid) (PTHF-

-PAA) is challenging since it is difficult to combine the two blocks produced

via

different/conflicting ring-opening polymerization (ROP) mechanisms. In this contribution

the cationic ROP of THF is catalyzed by rare-earth triflate [RE(OTf)

] and terminated by 2-(

-butyloxycarbonyl-amino) ethanol (BAE). After the deprotection of

-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group

the chain end of PTHF is quantitatively changed to amino group which thereafter initiates the nucleophilic ROP of

-amino acid

-thiocarboxyanhydrides (NTAs). Both polymerizations are well controlled

generating PTHF and PAA segments with designable molecular weights (MWs). PTHF-

-polylysine (PTHF-

-PLys) and PTHF-

-polysarcosine (PTHF-

-PSar) are obtained with MWs between 8.6 and 28.7 kg/mol. The above amphiphilic diblock copolymers form micelles in water. PTHF

-PSar

acts as a surfactant to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. Both segments of PTHF-

-PAA are biocompatible and promising in the biomedical application.
