Stereochemistry of lactide polymerization with chiral catalysts: new opportunities for stereocontrol using polymer exchange mechanisms.

چکیده
The synthesis of chiral aluminum and yttrium alkoxides and their application for lactide polymerization are reported. The complexes (SalBinap)MOR [4, M = Al, R = (i)Pr; 5, M = Y, R = (CH(2))(2)NMe(2)] are synthesized by reacting the ligand (SalBinap)H(2) [2,2'-[(1,1'-binaphthalene)-2,2'-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]bisphenol] with the appropriate metal trisalkoxide. While enantiomerically pure yttrium complex 5 did not effect stereocontrol in the polymerization of either meso- or rac-lactide, homochiral 4 was found to exhibit excellent stereocontrol in a range of lactide polymerizations. Enantiomerically pure 4 polymerizes meso-lactide to syndiotactic poly(lactic acid) (PLA), while rac-4 polymerizes meso- and rac-lactide to heterotactic and isotactic stereoblock PLA, respectively. On the basis of the absolute stereochemistry of ring-opening of meso-lactide using (R)-4, a polymer exchange mechanism is proposed to account for the PLA microstructures resulting from rac-4.

Stereocontrolled polymerization of racemic lactide with chiral initiator: combining stereoelection and chiral ligand-exchange mechanism.
New opportunities, provided by the 2,2'-[1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diylbis(nitrylomethilidyne)]diphenol (SB(OH)2)/Al(OiPr)3/racemic lactide (rac-LA) polymerization system, employing a combination of stereoelection with (S) and (R) ligand-exchange mechanism at Al-alkoxide active centers were explored. The stereoelectivity was comparable to that determined for the process with an additional synthetic ...
متن کاملC3-symmetric lanthanide tris(alkoxide) complexes formed by preferential complexation and their stereoselective polymerization of rac-lactide.
A great number and variety of homogeneous lanthanide catalysts are now used in industry and academia as low-cost, low-toxicity, Lewis acidic, and coordination catalysts. In the search for new asymmetric catalysts, chiral C3-symmetric complexes are emerging as interesting competitor systems to the ubiquitous C2-symmetric systems. [2] Trivalent lanthanide cations are obvious candidates for the de...
متن کاملPhosphasalen Indium Complexes Showing High Rates and Isoselectivities in rac‐Lactide Polymerizations
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 ...
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.
متن کاملStereochemistry and catalysis with zirconium complexes
Monoand bis(q-cyclopentadieny1)zirconium complexes show interesting stereochemical features with regard to their use in organometallic and organic synthesis as well as in catalysis. An example is described where the zirconocene unit serves to stabilize a planar tetracoordinate carbon center. Next, various building blocks (a metal carbonyl, an organic carbonyl compound, a conjugated diene, plus ...
