Polymer synthesis via activated esters: A new dimension of creativity in macromolecular chemistry

Characterization and electrical properties of methyl‐2‐hydroxyethyl cellulose doped with erbium nitrate salt

“…A wide range of activated ester monomers has been reported in the literature 109, 110. In this section, we highlight the most common and the most recent work on activated ester monomers.…”

Matrix Assisted Synthetic Transformations: A Mosaic of Diverse Contributions. I. The Pattern Emerges

“…79 Structure-Performance Relationships for Polymers. The course of chemical transformations on polymer supports is influenced by the physicochemical nature of the polymer at the following four levels.…”

“…As a note of general interest, protein synthesis in nature is also based on activated ester synthesis, and the active ester route shown in Figure is suggested to provide a new dimension of creativity in macromolecular chemistry and polymer synthesis in general …”

An information rich biomedical polymer library

“…31,44 We have recently prepared a narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD) homopolymeric precursor 2 (Scheme 1) that can be used as a common intermediate for the preclinical development of water soluble conjugates and other functional biomedical polymers. 45 One advantage of using an active ester polymer 24,[46][47][48][49][50] as a precursor is that only one precursor is needed to give families of functional polymers 45,51 varying in chemical functionality, all with the same molecular weight characteristics. Narrow MWD block copolymer precursors 3 have also been prepared using PEG 2000 and PEG 5000 macroinitiators.…”
