Ring-Opening Polymerization of -Caprolactone and Styrene Oxide-CO2 Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Chelated Dehydroacetic Acid-Imine Aluminum Complexes
MOLECULES(2022)
摘要
A series of chelated dehydroacetic acid-imine-based ligands (LH)-H-1~(LH)-H-4 was synthesized by reacting dehydroacetic acid with 2-t-butylaniline, (S)-1-phenyl-ethylamine, 4-methoxylbenzylamine, and 2-(aminoethyl)pyridine, respectively, in moderate yields. Ligands (LH)-H-1~(LH)-H-4 reacted with AlMe3 in toluene to afford corresponding compounds AlMe2L1 (1), AlMe2L2 (2), AlMe2L3 (3), and AlMe2L4 (4). All the ligands and aluminum compounds were characterized by IR spectra, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, the ligands (LH)-H-1~(LH)-H-4 and corresponding aluminum derivatives 1, 3, and 4 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The catalytic activities using these aluminum compounds as catalysts for the epsilon-caprolactone ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and styrene oxide-CO2 coupling reactions were studied. The results show that increases in the reaction temperature and selective solvent intensify the conversions of epsilon-caprolactone to polycaprolactone. Regarding the coupling reactions of styrene oxide and CO2, the conversion rate is over 90% for a period of 12 h at 90 & DEG;C. This strategy dispenses the origination of cyclic styrene carbonates, which is an appealing concern because of the transformation of CO2 into an inexpensive, renewable and easy excess carbon feedstock.
