Abstract
The homopolymerization in basic conditions of the recently reported bis(γ-lactone), 2H-HBO-HBO, is herein described for the first time. The solvent-free polymerization of this pentafunctional levoglucosenone (LGO) derivative affords fully renewable poly(vinyl-ether lactone) copolymers with a highly hyperbranched structure. This investigation stems from the polycondensation trials between 2H-HBO-HBO and di(methyl carbonate) isosorbide (DCI) that fails to give the anticipated polycarbonates. Such unexpected behavior is ascribed to the higher reactivity of the 2H-HBO-HBO hydroxy groups toward its α,β-conjugated endocyclic C═C, rather than the DCI methylcarbonate moieties. The different mechanistic scenarios involved in 2H-HBO-HBO homopolymerization are addressed and a possible structure of poly(2H-HBO-HBO) is suggested. Furthermore, the readily accessible (S)-γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolide (HBO) is also polymerized for the first time at a relatively large scale, without any prior modification, resulting in a new hyperbranched polymer with an environmental factor (E factor) ≈0. These new HBO-based polymers have a great potential for industrial-scale production due to their interesting properties and easy preparation via a low-cost, green, and efficient process.

Isosorbide bis(methyl carbonate) synthesis from isosorbide and dimethyl carbonate: the key role of dual basic–nucleophilic catalysts. RSC Adv 2020; 10:18728-18739. [PMID: 35518328 PMCID: PMC9053901 DOI: 10.1039/d0ra03552a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Isosorbide bis(methyl carbonate) (IBMC) is a scarcely studied green chemical with potential applications in the manufacturing of non-isocyanate polyurethanes and bisphenol A-free polycarbonates. Its synthesis by transesterification of isosorbide with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is very negatively influenced by the presence of small amounts of acidic impurities in isosorbide when heterogeneous inorganic carbonates such as potassium and cesium carbonates are used as catalysts. In this paper it is shown that the problem can be solved by using homogeneous catalysts consisting of nitrogenated bases and superbases having a suitable dual nucleophilic–basic character and able to form a highly reactive acyl intermediate with the electrophilic reactant DMC. Cycloaliphatic secondary and tertiary amines, guanidines and amidines covering a nucleophilicity parameter (N) range between 13.58 and 20.58 in either acetonitrile or dichloromethane, and a pKa range in acetonitrile between 15.68 and 26.02 have been tested in batchwise mode. Highly active catalysts leading to hydroxyl conversions of 84–93% require a minimum N of 16 and a pKa ranging from 18.0 to 26.0. Within this pKa range, N must increase by about 0.5–0.6 units per each unit the pKa falls to keep the catalytic activity, indicating that nucleophilicity has approximately twice as much influence as basicity on the catalytic activity. One guanidine (TBD), one amidine (DBN) and three cycloaliphatic secondary amines (N-methylpyrrolidine, quinuclidine and DABCO) have been found to be excellent catalysts at 5 mol% vs. ISO. The side reaction leading to oligomer formation is not avoided, with oligomers, mainly the dimer, affording 6 wt% of the crude product independently of hydroxyl-conversion and catalyst type. Basic–nucleophilic nitrogenated organocatalysts catalyze the synthesis of isosorbide bis(methyl carbonate), with nucleophilicity having an influence twice as much as basicity on catalytic activity.![]()
