The Divergent Reactivity of Lactones Derived from Butadiene and Carbon Dioxide in Macromolecular Synthesis

James M. Eagan

Summary: This paper reviews an efficient route for converting sustainable carbon feedstocks into novel macromolecules by catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide and 1,3-butadiene into unsaturated lactone monomers. The chemical reactivity of this monomer and various polymerization methods are discussed, along with the functional properties of materials derived from these processes. The advances in polymer chemistry and future directions of the field are also highlighted.

Incorporation of CO2-Derived Bicyclic Lactone into ConventionalVinyl Polymers

Megan R. Hill et al.

Summary: The ability to copolymerize monomers greatly expands the range of material properties that can be achieved for a specific monomer. We investigated the radical copolymerization of a lactone monomer, EVP, made from butadiene and carbon dioxide, and found that the unique bicyclic structure of EVP increased the glass transition temperature of commodity polymers and allowed for the incorporation of functionality.

Tunable and recyclable polyesters from CO2 and butadiene

Rachel M. Rapagnani et al.

Summary: This study presents an alternative route to functionalizable, recyclable polyesters derived from CO2, butadiene, and hydrogen. By catalytic ring-opening polymerization, polyesters with vinyl side chains were synthesized, which have a low ceiling temperature and are inherently biodegradable. This expands access to new polymer feedstocks that were once considered unfeasible.

Chemically recyclable polyesters from CO2, H2, and 1,3-butadiene

Yongjia Lou et al.

Summary: This study reports a method for synthesizing chemically recyclable solid polyesters using CO2 and inexpensive bulk chemicals as feedstock. The polyesters have high CO2 content and large molecular weight, and can be used to fabricate transparent membranes with pressure-sensitive adhesive properties. Mechanistic studies reveal water impurity removal as the key to successful polymerization. Complete monomer recovery is achieved, providing a new strategy for scalable chemical utilization of CO2.

New Polymers Made from Carbon Dioxide and Alkenes

Kyoko Nozaki

Summary: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a popular raw material for chemical synthesis due to its abundance and low toxicity. This article focuses on the use of CO2 and a lactone derived from 1,3-butadiene for polymer synthesis, rather than traditional methods using polyurea, polyurethane, and polycarbonates. Recent publications are summarized in relation to the synthesis of polylactone.

Alkali Metal Carboxylates: Simple and Versatile Initiators for RingOpening Alternating Copolymerization of Cyclic Anhydrides/Epoxides

Chong-Min Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, the ring-opening alternating copolymerization of cyclic anhydride and epoxide was thoroughly investigated using alkali metal carboxylates as initiators. The coordination effects of epoxide on the alkali metal carboxylate were verified using FT-IR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. Alkali metal carboxylates were found to effectively catalyze the copolymerization of cyclic anhydride and epoxide, leading to the synthesis of polyesters with alternating structures. The use of potassium acetate was particularly noteworthy as it allowed for the copolymerization of different cyclic anhydrides and epoxides, including the high molar feed ratio synthesis of poly(PA-alt-PO) with a molecular weight exceeding 100 kDa.

Summary: This study reports the ring-opening polymerization of 3-Ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (EVL) with beta-butyrolactone (BBL) as the comonomer catalyzed by scandium triflate, resulting in polyester with active unsaturated bonds. The cationic ROP mechanism was confirmed through kinetic study and density functional theory calculation, showing potential for functional poly(EVL-r-BBL) as a degradable polyester precursor for adhesive or surface-coating materials.
