Summary

介绍了由 Ni/锌配合物介导的受控 photoredox 环开放聚合的O-carboxyanhydrides 的协议。

Abstract

在这里, 我们描述一个有效的协议, 结合 photoredox 镍/Ir 催化与使用锌醇的有效开环聚合, 允许合成的规聚 (α-羟基酸) 与预期的分子量 (> 140kDa) 和窄分子量分布 (Mw/mn < 1.1)。这种环开聚合由 Ni 和锌配合物在乙醇引发剂和 photoredox 红外催化剂的存在下进行介导, 由蓝色 LED (400-500 nm) 照射。在低温 (-15 ° c) 下进行聚合以避免不受欢迎的副反应。完整的单体消耗可以在 4-8 小时内完成, 为聚合物提供接近分子量的分子量分布。结果数字平均分子量显示一个线性相关与聚合程度1000。homodecoupling 的1H 核磁共振研究证实, 所获得的聚合物是规没有异构化。本文所报告的聚合提供了一种实现快速、受控的O-carboxyanhydrides 聚合的策略, 以制备 stereoregular 聚 (α-羟基酸) 及其承载各种功能侧链基团的共聚物。

Introduction

聚 (α-羟基酸) (PAHA) 是一类重要的生物降解和生物相容性高分子材料, 其应用范围广泛, 从医用设备到包装原料。1,2虽然 PAHAs 可以通过α-羟基酸的缩聚直接制备, 但产生的 PAHAs 的分子量 (MWs) 普遍较低。3酯 (如丙交酯和乙) 的开环聚合 (ROP) 是一种替代合成方法, 可以更好地控制 MWs 和分子量分布 (Đ), 而不是缩聚。然而, PAHAs 和酯的侧链功能的缺乏限制了物理和化学性质及其应用的多样性。4,5自2006年以来, 13–1,3–24-diones, so-called O-carboxyanhydrides (oca), 可以用丰富多样的侧链功能编写,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13已成为聚酯聚合中一种高活性单体的替代类。14,15

oca 的催化系统可分为有机、8121617有机金属催化剂121819 ,20,21和催化剂。22一般情况下, 由有机促进的 oca 的 ROP 以或多或少不受控制的方式进行, 例如异构化 (即缺少 stereoregularity), 用于 oca 轴承电子提取组,8,17不可预知的 MWs, 或慢聚合动力学。13为了解决这些问题, 研制了一种活性锌-醇络合物, 用于 oca 的 ROP。12井控保护在低聚合 (DP) 的情况下, 没有异构化。然而, 这种锌-醇催化剂不能有效地产生高聚合度的聚合物 (DP ≥ 300)。13

我们最近报告了一种有希望的方法, 大大提高了 PAHA 合成的可和效率 (图 1)。13将 photoredox 镍/Ir 催化剂与锌醇脱, 以调节环开聚合 oca。低温 (-15 ° c) 和 photoredox 镍/Ir 催化的使用, 协同加速了脱链的传播, 同时避免了不受欢迎的副反应, 如镍羰基的形成。23,24在转移与 Ni 复合体的活性锌-醇位于链终点链传播。13

在本协议中, 我们添加新鲜准备 (bpy) Ni (COD) (bpy = 22 ‘-吡啶, COD = 15-1,5-), Zn (HMDS)2 (HMDS = 烷),25苄醇 (BnOH) 和 Ir [dF (CF3) 吡]2(dtbbpy) PF6 (Ir-1, dF (CF3) 吡 = 2-(24-氟)-5-三氟甲基吡啶, dtbbpy = 44 “-di--butyl-2,2′-bipyridine) 到单体 l-1解决方案26在一个带有冷陷阱的手套箱中, 在一个蓝色 LED 灯 (400-500 nm) 和风扇以保持温度 (图 1)。在聚合过程中, 温度保持在-15 ° c ±5° c。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱法对亚奥氏转化率进行了监测。由此产生的聚合物 MWs 和Đs 的特点是凝胶渗透色谱 (GPC)。homodecoupling 的1H 核磁共振研究确定所得到的聚合物是否是规的。由于大多数化学品对湿气高度敏感, 详细的视频协议旨在帮助新的从业者避免与 oca photoredox ROP 相关的陷阱。

Protocol

警告: 使用前请查阅所有相关材料安全数据表 (MSDS)。合成中使用的许多化学物质具有剧毒和致癌性。在执行反应时, 请使用所有适当的安全做法, 包括使用工程控制 (油烟罩和手套) 和个人防护用品 (安全眼镜、手套、实验室大衣、全长长裤、闭脚趾鞋、蓝光屏蔽安全护目镜)。以下程序涉及在手套箱中的标准无处理技术。所有的解决方案都是用吸管转移的。 1. 催化剂和引发剂的?…

Representative Results

通过傅里叶变换红外光谱对亚奥的转换进行监测, 如图 2所示。在 1805 cm-1的峰值被分配为在亚奥理事会中的酸酐粘结拉伸;峰值在 1760 cm-1对应于聚合物中酯键的形成。一旦单体的峰值在1805厘米-1完全消失, 聚合完成。 所产生的聚合物的兆瓦和Đ以凝胶渗透色谱为特征。<strong c…

Discussion

协议中的关键步骤是保持反应温度在-15 ±5° c。在聚合之前, 所有的催化剂溶液和亚奥基单体都必须在-35 ° c 的手套箱冷冻库中储存。在寒冷的陷阱中, 反应瓶必须预。在反应过程中, 由于 LED 灯散热, 必须每 15-20 分钟监测反应。一旦温度上升到-10 ° c, 液态氮应加入到杜瓦瓶冷却陷阱。低温的原因是室温下镍 (CO) 络合物的形成, 这对受控的 photoredox 聚合是不利的, 并影响到兆瓦和Đ。<sup class="xr…
