Crown ether complexes of potassium quinolin-8-olates: synthesis, characterization and catalysis toward the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of crown ether complexes of potassium quinolin-8-olates were synthesized and characterized. Catalysis of these complexes towards the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide was evaluated. The crown ether complexes of potassium quinolin-8-olate and potassium 2-methylquinolin-8-olate exhibited high catalytic activity and good molecular weight control. The 18-crown-6 complex of potassium 5-chloroquinolin-8-olate showed lower catalytic activity and poor molecular weight control; whereas the 18-crown-6 complex of potassium 5,7-dichloroquinolin-8-olate was inactive. Among the complexes, 18-crown-6 complex of potassium quinolin-8-olate showed the best selectivity of isotacticity, the Pm value achieving 0.75 when the polymerization was performed in toluene at 0 C.

Stoichiometric reactions of YCl3(THF)3 with potassium 2-((arylimino)methyl)quinolin-8-olates or 2-(1(arylimino)ethyl)quinolin-8-olates in THF solution gave the mononuclear LYCl2(DMSO)2 complexes 1−5 in the presence of DMSO and a representative dinuclear complex 6 in the absence of DMSO. All yttrium complexes were fully characterized by NMR measurements and elemental analysis, and the crystal st...

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 molecul...

متن کاملZinc-Catalyzed Highly Isoselective Ring Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide
A family of chiral zinc amido-oxazolinate complexes are shown to be highly active and isoselective initiators for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-lactide, yielding isotactic stereoblock polylactides (PLA) with Pm up to 0.91. This represents the highest isoselectivity observed with zinc-based catalysts for ROP of rac-lactide.
