J Pept Sci 2024:e3626. [PMID: 38810988 DOI: 10.1002/psc.3626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Polylactide (PLA), a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, is widely used in diverse biomedical applications. However, the industry standard for converting lactide into PLA involves toxic tin (Sn)-based catalysts. To mitigate the use of these harmful catalysts, other environmentally benign metal-containing agents for efficient lactide polymerization have been studied, but these alternatives are hindered by complex synthesis processes, reactivity issues, and selectivity limitations. To overcome these shortcomings, we explored the catalytic activity of Cu-(Phe)2 and Zn-(Phe)2 metal-amino acid co-assemblies as potential catalysts of the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide into PLA. Catalytic activity of the assemblies was monitored at different temperatures and solvents using 1H-NMR spectroscopy to determine the catalytic parameters. Notably, Zn-(Phe)2 achieved >99% conversion of lactide to PLA within 12 h in toluene under reflux conditions and was found to have first-order kinetics, whereas Cu-(Phe)2 exhibited significantly lower catalytic activity. Following Zn-(Phe)2-mediated catalysis, the resulting PLA had an average molecular weight of 128 kDa and a dispersity index of 1.25 as determined by gel permeation chromatography. Taken together, our minimalistic approach expands the realm of metal-amino acid-based supramolecular catalytic nanomaterials useful in the ROP of lactide. This advancement shows promise for the future design of simplified biocatalysts in both industrial and biomedical applications.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202317305.

Abstract
Polythioesters are important sustainable polymers with broad applications. The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of S-Carboxyanhydrides (SCAs) can afford polythioesters with functional groups that are typically difficult to prepare by ROP of thiolactones. Typical methods involving organocatalysts, like dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and triethylamine (Et3 N), have been plagued by uncontrolled polymerization, including epimerization for most SCAs resulting in the loss of isotacticity. Here, we report the use of salen aluminum catalysts for the selective ROP of various SCAs without epimerization, affording functionalized polythioester with high molecular weight up to 37.6 kDa and the highest Pm value up to 0.99. Notably, the ROP of TlaSCA (SCA prepared from thiolactic acid) generates the first example of a isotactic crystalline poly(thiolactic acid), which exhibited a distinct Tm value of 152.6 °C. Effective ligand tailoring governs the binding affinity between the sulfide chain-end and the metal center, thereby maintaining the activity of organometallic catalysts and reducing the occurrence of epimerization reactions.

Abstract
The low percentage of recyclability of the polymeric materials obtained by olefin transition metal (TM) polymerization catalysis has increased the interest in their substitution with more eco-friendly materials with reliable physical and mechanical properties. Among the variety of known biodegradable polymers, linear aliphatic polyesters produced by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters occupy a prominent position. The polymer properties are highly dependent on the macromolecule microstructure, and the control of stereoselectivity is necessary for providing materials with precise and finely tuned properties. In this review, we aim to outline the main synthetic routes, the physical properties and also the applications of three commercially available biodegradable materials: Polylactic acid (PLA), Poly(Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) (PLGA), and Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB), all of three easily accessible via ROP. In this framework, understanding the origin of enantioselectivity and the factors that determine it is then crucial for the development of materials with suitable thermal and mechanical properties.

Abstract
[(Bn2Cyclam)Y(N(SiMe3)2)] was prepared by reaction of H2Bn2Cyclam with Y[N(SiMe3)2]3. The protonation of the macrocycle ligand in [(Bn2Cyclam)Y(N(SiMe3)2)] is observed upon reaction with [HNMe3][BPh4] leading to the formation of [(HBn2Cyclam)Y(N(SiMe3)2)][BPh4]. DFT analysis of [(Bn2Cyclam)Y(N(SiMe3)2)] showed that the HOMO is located on the anionic nitrogen atoms of the cyclam ring indicating that protonation follows orbital control. Addition of H2Bn2Cyclam and H2(3,5-tBu2Bn)2Cyclam to a 1:3 mixture of YCl3 and LiCH2SiMe3 in THF resulted in the formation of [((C6H4CH2)BnCyclam)Y(THF)(µ-Cl)Li(THF)2] and [Y{(η3-3,5-tBu2Bn)2Cyclam}Li(THF)], respectively. The reaction of H23,5-tBu2Bn2Cyclam with Y(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 was studied and monitored by a temperature variation NMR experiment revealing the formation of [(3,5-tBu2Bn2Cyclam)Y(CH2SiMe3)]. Preliminary catalytic assays have shown that [Y{(η3-3,5-tBu2Bn)2Cyclam}Li(THF)] is a very efficient catalyst for the intramolecular hydroamination of 2,2-diphenyl-pent-4-enylamine.

Abstract
Reactions of achiral di(2-pyridyl)methyl substituted aminophenols L1-6H (2-{N-R3-N-[di(2-pyridyl)methyl]aminomethyl}-4-R1-6-R2-C6H2OH: R1 = R2 = tBu, R3 = nBu (L1H), R3 = nhexyl (L2H), R3 = cyclohexyl (L3H); R1 = R2 = cumyl, R3 = nBu (L4H), R3 = nhexyl (L5H), R3 = cyclohexyl (L6H)) with {Mg[N(SiMe3)2]2}2 ([L1-6H]:[Mg] = 1:1) afforded a series of magnesium silylamido complexes 1-6. In the solid state, the magnesium center of 3, 4, and 6 is penta-coordinated by the tetradentate aminophenloate ligand and one silylamido ligand to form a seriously distorted square-pyramidal geometry as confirmed by X-ray crystallography diffraction analysis. VT 1H NMR and ROESY experiments further indicate that these magnesium complexes are also five-coordinated in solutions where the coordination of either of the two pyridyl pendants to the magnesium center is maintained. Complexes 1-6 are highly active toward the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide (rac-LA) at r.t. both in toluene and in tetrahydrofuran, capable of polymerizing 500 equiv of monomer to high conversions just within minutes. Among them, complex 3 exhibited the highest iso-stereoselectivity, affording moderately isotactic polylactide in toluene (Pm = 0.75). It is found that the isoselectivities and activities of these magnesium complexes toward the polymerization of rac-LA are closely associated with the substituents at the ortho-position of the phenoxide unit and on the skeleton nitrogen atom of the ligand. On the basis of NMR spectroscopic studies, the formation of isotactic PLAs with dominant stereoblock sequences was witnessed by using these magnesium complexes as initiators, and the inequivalent coordination of two pyridyl pendant arms in these magnesium complexes might be the source of exerting isoselective control.

Abstract
Ethylene- and phenylene-bridged bis(salicylamidine) ligands have been readily prepared from ethylene or phenylenediamine and iminium chloride derivatives generated in situ from N,N-dialkylsalicylamides. The former, in its diprotonated form (FAlenH2), reacts with AlMe3 to afford a zwitterionic dimethyldiphenoxyaluminate complex with the FAlen ligand monoprotonated and in a bidentate κ2O,O' fashion. A phenylene-bridged proligand behaves differently, yielding a neutral methylaluminum complex bearing a κ3O,N,O'-coordinated FAlen ligand. From these complexes, methyl anion abstraction with B(C6F5)3 or a reaction with Schrock's alcohol leads to the corresponding aluminum cationic or alkoxy complexes in which a κ4O,N,N',O'-coordination mode of the FAlen ligand is observed. X-ray diffraction studies of the proligands and of the complexes show that the amidine functions feature a trans configuration when the N-amidine atom is not coordinated to the metal and conversely a cis configuration when it is. Density functional theory calculations show that trans-cis isomerization of the amidine functions occurs upon coordination with the metal ion with very low energy barriers. They also confirm the intuition that the denticity of the FAlen ligands in the complexes is directly related to the electron richness of the metal ion. At last, FAlen Al complexes are used as initiators for the controlled ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide to afford poly(lactic acid) with slight isotactic bias.

Abstract
Imine- and phosphinimine-supported indium complexes were used as catalysts in the polymerization of racemic lactide and ε-caprolactone as well as their copolymerization by the sequential and simultaneous addition of monomers. Tuning the electronics and sterics of the indium centers by either (i) changing the nature of the nitrogen donors and (ii) coordinating a hemilabile side group had a significant effect on the reactivity of the complexes, their stability, and their control in the synthesis of block copolymers. Specifically, the imine-supported complex (5) showed the highest activity in the homo- and copolymerization of the cyclic esters, in contrast to the phosphinimine-supported complex (7), which was significantly slower and less stable. The presence of morpholine and thiomorpholine hemilabile side groups either reduced the activity or prevented the formation of alkoxide complexes.

Abstract
This review highlights recent developments in the field of biodegradable polymeric materials intended to replace non-degradable conventional plastics, focusing on studies from the last ten years involving the stereoselective ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters. This encompasses exciting advances in both catalyst design and monomer scope. Notably, the last decade has seen the emergence of metal-free stereocontrolled ROP for instance, as well as the synthesis and stereocontrolled polymerization of new types of chiral monomers. This study will emphasize recent stereoselective polymerization catalysts and chiral monomers and will focus on stereocontrol quantification, the mechanisms of stereocontrol and their differentiation if reported and studied for a specific catalyst system.

Abstract
A new family of group 4 permethylpentalene (C8Me62-; Pn*) aryloxide and alkoxide complexes have been synthesised and fully characterised by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction; (η8-C8Me6)Zr(OR)2 (R = tBu (1), 2,6-Me-C6H3 (2), 2,6-iPr-C6H3 (3) and 4-OMe-C6H4 (4)), (η8-C8Me6)Zr (OR) (R = 2,6-tBu-C6H3 (5) and 2,6-tBu-4-Me-C6H2 (6)), (η8-C8Me6)ZrCp(OR) (R = tBu (7), 2,6-Me-C6H3 (8) and 2,6-iPr-C6H3 (9)), (η8-C8Me6)TiCp(O-2,6-Me-C6H3) (10) and (η8-C8Me6)ZrCpMe(OR) (R = 2,6-Me-C6H3 (11), 2,6-iPr-C6H3 (12) and 2,4-tBu-C6H3 (13)). 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12 were studied as initiators for the ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) of l-lactide, and 2, 3, 6, 7 and 10 were studied as initiators for the ROP of rac-lactide. 3 was found to be the most active initiator for the ROP of l-lactide (kobs = 0.35 h-1) and 2 for the ROP of rac-lactide (kobs = 0.21 h-1). These initiators produced isotactic PLA for the ROP of l-lactide and moderately heterotactic enriched (maximum Pr of 0.69) or atactic PLA for the ROP of rac-lactide with polymer chains consisting of polylactic acid repeat units with -OR and -OH end groups.

Abstract
A series of new phosphasalalen pro-ligands, analogues of salalen but with an iminophosphorane replacing the imine functionality, and their corresponding rare-earth alkoxide and siloxide complexes were synthesized. The multinuclear NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that, for the tert-butoxide and ethoxide complexes, the resulting phosphasalalen rare-earth product was composed of a mononuclear alkoxide and a binuclear complex containing bridged alkoxo and hydroxo groups, while an analogous binuclear complex was isolated as the sole product for the siloxide complex. All the complexes could catalyze the heteroselective ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-lactide (Pr up to 0.77) with high catalytic activities and a controlled polydispersity. Remarkably, the yttrium and lutetium phosphasalalen complexes could also efficiently catalyze the ROP of rac-β-butyrolactone to produce syndiotactic polymers (Pr up to 0.73) while their salalen analogues were inert, revealing the special effects of the iminophosphorane moiety. Detailed end-group analyses and kinetic investigations suggested that the alkoxo-hydroxo-bridged complexes maintained their binuclear structures in the polymerization.

Abstract
Catalysts based on cobalt amino acids and 2,2 bipyridine (bipy) present an attractive and cost-effective alternative as ring opening polymerization catalysts, yet this system remains underexplored despite the advantageous coordination properties of amino acids and bipy as ligands combined with the variety of accessible oxidation states and coordination geometries of cobalt. Here, metal complexes of type [Co(aa)2(bipy)] with amino acids (aa: glycine, leucine and threonine) as ligands are reported. The complexes were characterized spectroscopically (IR, UV-vis and 1H, 13C NMR for diamagnetic species), and by MS spectrometry and elemental analysis. The data reveal that the 2,2 bipyridine acts as a neutral bidentate donor coordinating to the metal ion through two nitrogen atoms and the amino acid acts as a bidentate ligand coordinating through the carboxylate and amino group forming a stable five membered ring and a pseudo-octahedral geometry around the Co center. The activity of the complexes for the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-lactide is presented. The complexes are effective initiators for the ROP of rac-lactide (Kobs = 9.05 × 10−4 s−1) at 100 : 1 [rac-lactide] : [catalyst] 1 M overall concentration of lactide in toluene at 403 K. Catalysts based on Co, amino acids, and 2,2-bipyridine present an attractive and economic alternative in ring opening polymerization, and possess advantageous ligand coordination properties combined with a variety of accessible oxidation states and coordination geometries.![]()

Abstract
The coordination chemistry and the activities in the ring-opening polymerization catalysis of racemic lactide (LA) of magnesium complexes of a series of {ONNN}-type sequential monoanionic ligands are described. All ligands include pyridyl and substituted-phenolate as peripheral groups. The ligands bearing either chiral or meso-bipyrrolidine cores led to single diastereomeric complexes, whereas the ligands bearing a diaminoethane core led to diastereomer mixtures. All {ONNN}Mg-X complexes [X=Cl, HMDS (hexamethyldisilazide)] led to highly active and isoselective catalysts. The complexes bearing the chiral bipyrrolidine core exhibited the highest activities (full consumption of 5000 equiv. of rac-LA at RT within 5 min) and highest isoselectivities (Pm =0.91), as well as a living character. The complexes of the meso-bipyrrolidine based ligands were almost as active and slightly less stereoselective, while those of the diaminoethane based ligands exhibited reduced activities and isoselectivities.

Abstract
A new multidentate tetraanionic ligand platform for supporting trinuclear transition metal clusters has been developed. Two trisphenoxide phosphinimide ligands bind three Ni centers in a triangular arrangement. The phosphinimide donors bridge in μ3 fashion and the phenoxides complete a pseudo-square planar coordination sphere around each metal center. Electrochemical studies reveal two pseudo-reversible oxidation events at notably low potentials (-0.80 V and +0.05 V). The one electron oxidized species was characterized structurally, and it is assigned as a NiIII-containing cluster.

Abstract
The rare-earth elements (Ln = Sc, Y, La-Lu) are widely used in stoichiometric and catalytic carbonyl group transformations. Sufficient availability, non-toxicity, high oxophilicity, tunable ion size/Lewis acidity and enhanced ligand exchangeability have been major driving factors for their successful implementation. Routinely employed reagents for stoichiometric carbonyl group transformations are divalent ytterbium and samarium compounds (e.g., ketone reduction), bimetallic CeCl3/LiR (C-C coupling), or ceric ammonium nitrate CAN (cyclic ketone oxidation). Rare-earth-metal triflates, and in particular Sc(OTf)3, are prominent examples of Lewis acid catalysts for versatile use in organic synthesis (e.g., Aldol and Michael reactions). Moreover, Ln(ii) and Ln(iii) complexes efficiently catalyze the (co)polymerization of carbonyl group-containing monomers including lactones, lactides, acrylates, and carbon dioxide. Featuring the most notorious greenhouse gas, CO2 is currently assessed as a cheap, abundant, and non-toxic C1 building block. Ln(iii) complexes are not only capable of efficient CO2 capture via reversible insertion but also of CO2 activation for catalytic conversions (copolymerization/cycloaddition with epoxides). This perspective focuses on structurally elucidated Ln complexes resulting from ketone or carbonyl derivative activation/insertion as well as carbon dioxide insertion products. The respective compounds will be sorted by structural motifs and, if applicable, details on reactivity and feasibility of catalytic reactions are presented. The article is subdivided in three parts: (i) donor and insertion products of ketones and aldehydes, (ii) redox-enhanced activation of carbonyl derivatives, and (iii) CO2 insertion/redox products and homogeneous catalytic conversion.

Abstract
It remains a challenging task to synthesize well-defined multi-block copolymers through the controlled/living ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones without transesterification, the most common side reaction occurring during copolymerization. A series of Al-based complexes with different sidearms were prepared for living ROP of lactones such as ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and δ-valerolactone (δ-VL) in the presence of BnOH at room temperature (RT), affording medium to high molecular weight (MW) linear polyesters with Mw up to 303 kg mol-1 and narrow molecular weight distributions (MWD, Đ as low as 1.12). The coordination-insertion polymerization mechanism was proposed based on the combination of the detailed experimental data and polymerization kinetics. It should be noted that the sidearm plays a significant important role in the reactivity of these Al-based catalyst systems. More specifically, the Al2 system with a butyl substituent on the sidearm exhibited the highest polymerization activity and the Al5 system with the bulkiest sidearm showed the lowest one among the investigated catalysts. Moreover, the Al4 system with a pyridine group on the sidearm could effectively inhibit transesterification and maintain a well-defined block copolymer structure even after heating at 50 °C for 10 h, which could also be confirmed by chain-end analyses of the produced polymers with the MALDI-TOF MS measurement.

Abstract
Polylactide (PLA) is a fully biodegradable and recyclable plastic, produced from a bio-derived monomer: it is a circular economy plastic. Its properties depend upon its stereochemistry and isotactic PLA shows superior thermal-mechanical performances. Here, a new means to control tacticity by exploiting rotaxane conformational dynamism is described. Dynamic achiral [2]rotaxanes can show high isoselectivity (Pi =0.8, 298 K) without requiring any chiral additives and enchain by a chain end control mechanism. The organocatalytic dynamic stereoselectivity is likely applicable to other small-molecule and polymerization catalyses.

Abstract
Two sodium/potassium tetradentate aminobisphenolate ion-paired complexes were synthesized and structurally characterized. These ion-paired complexes are efficient catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide (rac-LA) in the presence of 5 equivalents BnOH as an initiator and the side reaction of epimerization can be suppressed well at low temperatures. The polymerizations are controllable, affording polylactides with desirable molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions; the highest molecular weight can reach 50.1 kg mol-1 in this system, and a best isoselectivity of Pm =0.82 was achieved. Such polymerizations have rarely been reported for isoselective sodium/potassium complexes without crown ether as an auxiliary ligand. The solid structures suggest that BnOH can be activated by an interaction with the anion of sodium/potassium complex via a hydrogen bond and that the monomer is activated by coordination to sodium/potassium ion.

Abstract
A series of mononuclear salen-sodium anions, as the first examples, were synthesized with tetra-alkyl ammonium as a counterpart cation. These complexes are efficient catalysts for the isoselective ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide; the molecular weights of polymers are under control and molecular weight distributions are narrow when five equivalents of BnOH is used as an initiator. The best isoselectivity value of Pm = 0.82 was achieved at -70 °C. The experimental results together with a density functional theory calculation show that a ligand-assisted activated monomer mechanism is more reasonable than an activated monomer mechanism for this system.
