Abstract
Morpholine-2,5-diones (MDs) are increasingly attractive compounds that can be produced using amino acid (AA) as a starting material. These compounds can undergo polymerization to produce biodegradable materials, namely, polydepsipeptides, that hold the potential to be used in medicinal applications. In this study, a simplified yet high-yield MD synthesis procedure was developed and applied to produce a range of MDs derived from hydrophobic AAs including Leu, Ile, Val, Phe, Asp(OBzl), Lys(Z), and Ser(tBu). Moreover, using a blend of hydrophobic amino acids (Leu, Ile, Val, and Phe), mixtures of MDs could be synthesized simultaneously. Finally, the polymerization of these MD mixtures was probed and proven successful. The concept investigated herein constitutes a novel path toward the valorization of protein-rich waste by producing renewable and biodegradable materials.

Abstract
A 3-benzylmorpholine-2,5-dione monomer is synthesized from the natural amino acid l-phenylalanine and characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Subsequent to preliminary polymerization studies, a well-defined poly(ester amide) homopolymer is synthesized via ring-opening polymerization using a binary catalyst system comprising 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and a 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-cyclohexylthiourea (TU) cocatalyst with a feed ratio of M/I/DBU/TU = 100/1/1/10. Kinetic studies reveal high controllability of the dispersities and molar masses up to conversions of almost 80%. Analysis by mass spectrometry hints toward excellent end-group fidelity at these conditions. In consequence, utilization of hydroxyl-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) as macroinitiators results in amphiphilic block copolymers. Bulk miscibility of the building blocks is indicated by differential scanning calorimetry investigations. As more and more promising new drugs are based on hydrophobic molecules featuring aromatic moieties, the novel polyesteramides seem highly promising materials to be used as potential drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Providing access to diverse polymer structures is highly desirable, which helps to explore new polymer materials. Poly(thioester sulfonamide)s, combining both the advantages of thioesters and amides, however, have been rarely available in polymer chemistry. Here, we report the ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of cyclic thioanhydride with N-sulfonyl aziridine using mild phosphazene base, resulting in well-defined poly(thioester sulfonamide)s with highly alternative structures, high yields, and controlled molecular weights. Additionally, benefiting from the mild catalytic process, this ROCOP can be combined with ROCOP of N-sulfonyl aziridines with cyclic anhydrides to produce novel block copolymers.

Abstract
There is a growing interest surrounding morpholine-2,5-dione-based materials due to their impressive biocompatibility as well as their capacity to break down by hydrolytic and enzymatic pathways. In this study, the ring-opening (co)polymerization of leucine-derived 3S-(isobutyl)morpholine-2,5-dione (MD) and lactide (LA) was performed via ball-milling using a catalytic system composed of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and 3-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1-cyclohexylthiourea (TU). Once the homopolymerizations of MD and LA optimized and numerous parameters were studied, the mechanochemical ring-opening copolymerization of these monomers was explored. The feasibility of ring-opening copolymerizations in mechanochemical systems was demonstrated and a range of P(MD-co-LA) copolymers were produced with varying proportions of MD (23%, 48%, and 69%). Furthermore, the beneficial cocatalytic effects of TU with regards to ROP control were found to be operative within mechanochemical systems. Further parallels were observed between solution- and mechanochemical-based ROPs.

Abstract
We report a new synthetic methodology for poly(ester amide)s by anionic ring-opening copolymerization of N-sulfonyl aziridines and cyclic anhydrides. Phosphazenes organocatalysts have been found to promote a highly-active, controlled, and selective alternating copolymerization in the absence of any competitive side reaction (zwitterionic mechanism and exchange transacylations). Mechanistic studies have shown first-order dependence of the copolymerization rate in N-sulfonyl aziridines and phosphazenes, and zero-order in cyclic anhydrides. This one-pot methodology leads not only to homopolymers but also to poly(ester amide)-based block copolymers. Two catalytic cycles involving ring-opening alternating copolymerization of N-sulfonyl aziridines with cyclic anhydrides and ring-opening polymerization of N-sulfonyl aziridines have been proposed to explain the one pot synthesis of poly(ester amide)-based homo- and block copolymers.
