✦ Synopsis


Mechanistic r~atures of the cationic copolymerization of lactones with cyclic ethers are studied for fl-propiolactona ~ ?L) with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and E-caprolactone (CLI with THF. It is shown that, in the PL THF system at [THF]0 > [THF]~, the copolymer is considerably enriched with the more basic THF whereas at [THF]o < [THF]e anomalous enrichment of the copolymer with the less basic PL is observed. The mechanism of this phenomenon, which is applicable to many other cases and causes the formation of block copolymers from some heterocyclic monomers, is considered. At concentrations below equilibrium, THF is incorporated in the copolymer as pairs of units due to the effect of the penultimate unit on the thermodynamics of its addition.

Glycolic acid (GA) was copolymerized with various lactones such as 7-butyrolactone (BL), 6-valerolactone (VL) and E-caprolactone (CL) in the presence of water without catalysts at 200Β°C under N2, giving relatively low molecular weight polyesters. This reaction is characterized by direct condensation

Numerous copolymerizations of glycolide with 6-propiolactone, y-butyrolactone, 6-valerolactone and E-caprolactone were conducted either in bulk or in nitrobenzene solution at temperatures in the range of 20-150Β°C. Three classes of catalysts were used, namely acidic catalysts initiating cationic poly
