Selective Organocatalytic Preparation of Trimethylene Carbonate from Oxetane and Carbon Dioxide.
Selective Organocatalytic Preparation of Trimethylene Carbonate from Oxetane and Carbon Dioxide. Jin Huang, Coralie Jehanno, Joshua C. Worch, Fernando Ruipérez, Haritz Sardon, Andrew P. Dove*, and Olivier Coulembier* Abstract : The organocatalytic coupling of oxetanes and carbon dioxide (CO2) offers a sustainable route to poly(trimethylene carbonate)s and/or functional 6-membered cyclic carbonate monomers. This transformation is […]
Update and Challenges in Carbon Dioxide-Based Polycarbonate Synthesis.
Update and Challenges in Carbon Dioxide-Based Polycarbonate Synthesis. Dr. Jin Huang, Dr. Joshua C. Worch, Prof. Dr. Andrew P. Dove, Prof. Dr. Olivier Coulembier Abstract : The utilization of carbon dioxide as a comonomer to produce polycarbonates has attracted a great deal of attention from both industrial and academic communities because it promises to replace petroleum-derived plastics and […]
Simultaneous “O−Alkyl” and “O−Acyl” Lactone Cleavages from Hydroxy-Carboxylic Acid Initiators: Direct Access to Multiblock Architecture
Simultaneous “O−Alkyl” and “O−Acyl” Lactone Cleavages from Hydroxy-Carboxylic Acid Initiators: Direct Access to Multiblock Architecture Bryan Raeskinet, Sébastien Moins, Luke Harvey, Julien De Winter, Céline Henoumont, Sophie Laurent, and Olivier Coulembier Abstract : Herein, we demonstrate the possibility to prepare multiblock polyester-based copolymers in a “one-pot, one-step” approach from independent and simultaneous ROPs of 4- and […]
Metal-free Synthesis of Poly(trimethylene carbonate) by Efficient Valorization of Carbon Dioxide.
Metal-free Synthesis of Poly(trimethylene carbonate) by Efficient Valorization of Carbon Dioxide. Jin Huang, Julien De Winter, Andrew P. Dove and Olivier Coulembier Abstract : The desire for sustainability drives interest in the production of chemicals from carbon dioxide. The synthesis of poly(trimethylene carbonate), PTMC, by copolymerization of carbon dioxide and oxetane using organocatalysis affords a […]
