The selective ring-opening homo-polymerization of CO2/butadiene-derived lactone monomers has emerged as an appealing approach for synthesizing chemically recyclable polyesters from CO2. Previous research has only concentrated on CO2-derived di-substituted six-membered lactones. In this study, a newly designed tri-substituted six-membered CO2/butadiene-derived lactone monomer, 3,3,6-triethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (Et-HL), was polymerized successfully through selective ring-opening polymerization (ROP) using NaOMe, tBu-P4/BnOH, or tBu-P4. tBu-P4/BnOH affords linear-poly(Et-HL) with typical living polymerization behaviors, while a maximum number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 1050 kg mol−1 and a dispersity (Đ) of 1.52 were achieved for cyclic-poly(Et-HL) using only tBu-P4. Catalytic methods were developed for monomer recycling of both linear- and cyclic-poly(Et-HL). Direct observation of key intermediates by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) reveals the mechanistic differences between Et-HL and DEtP. A tail-to-head strain-releasing mechanism was proposed to rationalize the selective formation of cyclic polymers for both DEtP and Et-HL using only tBu-P4. In the case of linear polymers, DEtP and Et-HL share a similar mechanism involving the initiator anion attacking the monomer ester bond. This work represents the first example of the ROP of six-membered lactones bearing more than 2 substituents, simultaneously offering a fundamental understanding of the Thorpe–Ingold effect on the ROP of CO2/butadiene-derived six-membered lactones for the first time.

由 CO2/丁二烯衍生的三取代六元内酯的开环聚合



CO2/丁二烯衍生的内酯单体的选择性开环均聚已成为从 CO2 合成化学可回收聚酯的一种有吸引力的方法。以前的研究只集中在 CO2 衍生的二取代六元内酯上。在本研究中,使用 NaOMe、tBu-P4/BnOH 或 tBu-P4,通过选择性开环聚合 (ROP) 成功聚合了新设计的三取代六元 CO2/丁二烯衍生的内酯单体 3,3,6-三乙基四氢-2H-吡喃-2-酮 (Et-HL)。Bu-P4/BnOH 提供具有典型活性聚合行为的线性聚 (Et-HL),而仅使用 tBu-P4 即可实现环状聚 (Et-HL) 的最大数均分子量 (Mn) 为 1050 kg mol-1 和分散度 (Đ) 为 1.52.开发了用于线性和环状聚 (Et-HL) 单体回收的催化方法。通过核磁共振 (NMR) 直接观察关键中间体揭示了 Et-HL 和 DEtP 之间的机理差异。提出了一种尾对头应变释放机制,以仅使用 tBu-P4 使 DEtP 和 Et-HL 的环状聚合物的选择性形成合理化。 对于线性聚合物,DEtP 和 Et-HL 具有相似的机制,涉及引发剂阴离子攻击单体酯键。这项工作代表了带有 2 个以上取代基的六元内酯的 ROP 的第一个例子,同时首次提供了对 CO2/丁二烯衍生的六元内酯 ROP 的 Thorpe-Ingold 效应的基本理解。
