Chiral 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD)-Catalyzed Stereoselective Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide: High Reactivity for Isotactic Enriched Polylactides (PLAs).

ABSTRACT: Chiral 4,8-diphenyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (DiPh-TBD) was synthesized and applied to a ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide (rac-LA). The chiral DiPh-TBD promoted the synthesis of isotactic enriched polylactides (PLAs) with controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distributions under mild, metal-free conditions. When the [rac-LA]/[Cat.] ratio was 100/1, full monomer conversion was achieved within only 1 min and a moderate probability of 0.67 meso dyads (Pm) was obtained at room temperature. A chain-end control mechanism (CEC) was found to be responsible for the isoselectivity based on the homodecoupled 1H NMR spectrum, the chiral HPLC measurement, and kinetic studies.

Efficient Bulky Organo-Zinc Scorpionates for the Stereoselective Production of Poly(rac-lactide)s.

Project description:The direct reaction of the highly sterically demanding acetamidinate-based NNN'-scorpionate protioligand Hphbptamd [Hphbptamd = N,N'-di-p-tolylbis(3,5-di-tertbutylpyrazole-1-yl)acetamidine] with one equiv. of ZnMe2 proceeds in high yield to the mononuclear alkyl zinc complex [ZnMe(κ3-phbptamd)] (1). Alternatively, the treatment of the corresponding lithium precursor [Li(phbptamd)(THF)] with ZnCl2 yielded the halide complex [ZnCl(κ3-phbptamd)] (2). The X-ray crystal structure of 1 confirmed unambiguously a mononuclear entity in these complexes, with the zinc centre arranged with a pseudotetrahedral environment and the scorpionate ligand in a κ3-coordination mode. Interestingly, the inexpensive, low-toxic and easily prepared complexes 1 and 2 resulted in highly efficient catalysts for the ring-opening polymerisation of lactides, a sustainable bio-resourced process industrially demanded. Thus, complex 1 behaved as a single-component robust initiator for the living and immortal ROP of rac-lactide under very mild conditions after a few hours, reaching a TOF value up to 5520 h-1 under bulk conditions. Preliminary kinetic studies revealed apparent zero-order dependence on monomer concentration in the absence of a cocatalyst. The PLA materials produced exhibited narrow dispersity values, good agreement between the experimental Mn values and monomer/benzyl alcohol ratios, as well as enhanced levels of heteroselectivity, reaching Ps values up to 0.74.

Stereoselective polymerization of methyl methacrylate and rac-lactide mediated by iminomethylpyridine based Cu(ii) complexes.

Project description:Iminomethylpyridine based copper(ii) complexes [LnCuCl2] (Ln = LA, LC-LF) and [LBCu(μ-Cl)Cl]2 have been synthesized and characterized. [LCCuCl2] and [LECuCl2] were identified to possess distorted square pyramidal geometries obtained via N,N'-bidentate coordination, whereas [LFCuCl2] showed N,N',N''-coordination of the corresponding ligand (LF). [LBCu(μ-Cl)Cl]2 was found to be dimeric with a distorted square pyramidal geometry around the Cu(ii) center. The catalytic properties of dimethyl derivatives, generated in situ, towards the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-LA were investigated. All the complexes efficiently polymerized rac-LA and yielded heterotactic poly(lactide) (PLA) (P r up to 0.88 at -25 °C). Further, these complexes could effectively polymerize methyl methacrylate (MMA) at 60 °C in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), to furnish syndio-enriched PMMA. The catalytic efficacies of synthesized complexes can be correlated to the suitable complexity of the substituents attached to the ligand architecture. Thus, both the steric and electronic properties as well as the orientation of the various substituents relative to the xy plane of the pyridyl moiety and metal center play an influential role in steering catalytic activities, whereas the selectivities remain unaffected.

Studies toward the synthesis of cinachyramine. An efficient route to 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-enes.

Project description:Hydrogenation (3 atm) of readily available pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines 10, 14, and 17 over 5% Rh/Al2O3 forms 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-enes 9, 15, and 18 in > 95% yield, providing a general route to this little-studied class of compounds. All attempts to form the tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazine moiety of cinachyramine (1) by rearrangement of amidinium dimethylhydrazone 8 using the procedures developed by Kamatori to convert hydrazone 3a to tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazine 4a were unsuccessful.

8-Quinolinolato gallium complexes: iso-selective initiators for rac-lactide polymerization.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of a series of 8-quinolinolato gallium complexes is presented, and the complexes are analogous to a series of aluminum complexes previously reported. The complexes have been shown to be active initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide. High degrees of polymerization control are demonstrated, as exemplified by the linear evolution of molecular weight as the polymerization progresses, narrow polydispersity indices, and molecular weights corresponding to those predicted on the basis of initiator concentration. Some of the initiators show iso-selective polymerization of rac-lactide, with Pi = 0.70. The polymerization rates have been monitored, and the pseudo first-order rate constants are compared to those of analogous aluminum compounds. The 8-quinolinolato gallium initiators show rates approximately 3 times higher than those of the series of aluminum compounds, while maintaining equivalently high iso-selectivity (Pi = 0.70) and polymerization control.

Phosphasalen Indium Complexes Showing High Rates and Isoselectivities in rac-Lactide Polymerizations.

Project description:Polylactide (PLA) is the leading bioderived polymer produced commercially by the metal-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of lactide. Control over tacticity to produce stereoblock PLA, from rac-lactide improves thermal properties but is an outstanding challenge. Here, phosphasalen indium catalysts feature high rates (30±3 m-1 min-1 , THF, 298 K), high control, low loadings (0.2 mol %), and isoselectivity (Pi =0.92, THF, 258 K). Furthermore, the phosphasalen indium catalysts do not require any chiral additives.

Detection and characterization of folded-chain clusters in the structured melt of isotactic polypropyl-ene.

Project description:Despite ceaseless efforts in past decades, the memory effect of semi-crystalline polymers has not been elucidated completely yet. An important reason why is that residual lamellar crystals in the structured melt are difficult to characterize. Recently, we developed a new small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) theory [Li et al. (2019). IUCrJ, 6, 968-983] and Fourier transform method [Li et al. (2020). CrystEngComm, 22, 3042-3058] for lamellar crystals that could derive structural information from SAXS readily. In this study, we tried to employ the new theory and method to characterize residual lamellar crystals in the structured melt. It was found that although scattering peaks cannot be observed in raw scattering profiles, they actually exist. Subtracting free-melt scattering and multiplying by q 4 benefit the observation of these weak scattering peaks. With the new Fourier transform method, it was found that indeed as proposed previously, thicker lamellar crystals exist in the structured melt. To determine the lateral size of residual lamellar crystal especially, a new method was developed under the guidance of the new theory. With the new method, it was found that although the crystallinity is very low (∼1% at 174°C), the lateral sizes in the structured melts are still large, e.g. 45.3 nm at 174°C, much greater than the critical nucleation size. This implies that these residual lamellar crystals can act as athermal nuclei after quenching to a lower temperature, as proposed by Ziabicki & Alfonso [(1994). Colloid Polym. Sci. 272, 1027-1042; (2002). Macromol. Symp. 185, 211-231] more than 20 years ago. The methodologies proposed here could also be applied to other polymer lamellar systems.

Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide with Aluminum Chiral Anilido-Oxazolinate Complexes.

Project description:A series of dimethylaluminum complexes (L1a-i )AlMe2 (2a-i, where HL1a-i = 2-(2'-ArNH)phenyl-4-R1-oxazoline) bearing chiral, bidentate anilido-oxazolinate ligands have been prepared and characterized. Six of the complexes, in the presence of an alcohol cocatalyst, are shown to be active initiators for the stereoselective ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide in toluene solution and under bulk conditions, yielding polylactides with a range of tacticity from slightly isotactic to moderately heterotactic. The reactivity and selectivity of these catalysts are discussed on the basis of the effect of their substituents.
