Abstract:Polyesters are a prominent class of polymer materials. The ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of cyclic anhydrides and cyclic ethers has attracted attention as a method for the precise synthesis of a variety of polyesters. However, epoxides have been the primary cyclic ether employed in this method, and precise polymerization with oxetane has been challenging. This paper accomplished organobase-catalyzed ROCOP of cyclic anhydrides and oxetanes for synthesizing polyesters. By applying t-BuP 2 as a catalyst f… Show more
