“…When different monomer classes, such as lactones, epoxides/CO 2 , or carboxyanhydrides, are combined in ring-opening copolymerizations, , distinct reactivity differences of the metal chain end group in the respective catalytic cycles enable high chemoselectivity and simple access to block copolymers. − In contrast to that, sequence control from one-pot mixtures of the same monomer class is highly challenging due to similar reactivity . Redox-controlled “on/off” switching in ROP of one specific cyclic ester monomer is achieved with an increasing number of catalysts, − yet, establishing orthogonal monomer reactivity for two different lactones to generate block copolyesters is rarely reported. , For example, the synthesis of a block copolymer microstructure from an l -lactide ( l -LA)/ ε -caprolactone ( ε -CL) feedstock has been achieved with a redox-switchable titanium catalyst . Using a different approach, stereoselective polymerization catalysts allowed for the synthesis of alternating sequence-controlled polyesters when mixed monomers of opposite stereochemistry were employed. , However, the addition of oxidants and reductants or the use of enantiopure monomer mixtures makes these approaches experimentally challenging.…”
