“…In addition to exploring alternatives for the midblock in ABA copolymers, we also sought to replace styrene with renewable feedstocks for use in synthesizing the glassy component in TPEs. We chose 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone [denoted as triacetic acid lactone (TAL)], which can be obtained synthetically from acetic acid or through biological pathways in select microbes, which synthesize the compound as a secondary metabolite of glucose and other sugars. Notably, ongoing research into the genetic bioengineering of Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggests that biologically synthesized TAL may be a viable feedstock. Although TAL and its numerous derivatives have been studied for their efficacy as food preservatives, antimicrobials, pharmaceuticals, and so forth, its use as a renewable feedstock for polymer synthesis has yet to be explored in detail. ,, In a recent study, partial substitution of p­(epichlorohydrin) with TAL via postpolymerization modification resulted in an apparent increase in the T g of the material from −30 °C up to 70 °C depending on the degree of substitution …”

“…Lauryl acrylate is readily derived from vegetable oils, including coconut and palm kernel oils, , and was investigated as an alternative to n- butyl acrylate as a rubbery midblock in ABA triblock copolymers. To replace frequently styrenic glassy end blocks, the authors investigated derivatives of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone ( 2 - 75 ), which is produced as a secondary metabolite of glucose and other sugars by some microbes or may be synthesized from acetic acid. Catalytic hydrogenation of the pyrone proceeded over a period of 2 to 3 days; the authors attribute the extended reaction time to slow internal keto–enol tautomerization following partial reduction (Scheme ). Nonetheless, the transformation afforded the corresponding lactone ( 2 - 76 ) in near-quantitative yields.…”

“…Particular attention is paid to 4-hydroxy-2-pyrones, namely, triacetic acid lactone (TAL), dehydroacetic acid (DHA, Figure 1 ), and their derivatives, which belong to polyketides and occur widely in living organisms [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. The availability of these compounds and the possibility of their biochemical synthesis contributed to their extensive research and to the development of a wide range of options for their modification, considering them as platform compounds [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”
