Isotactic rac-Lactide Polymerization with Copper Complexes: The Influence of Complex Nuclearity

Summary: | Diiminopyrrolide copper alkoxide complexes, LCuOR (OR1=N,N‐dimethylamino ethoxide, OR2=2‐pyridyl methoxide), are active for the polymerization of rac‐lactide at ambient temperature in benzene to yield polymers with Mw/Mn=1.0–1.2. X‐ray diffraction studies showed bridged dinuclear complexes in the solid state for both complexes. While LCuOR1 provided only atactic polylactide, LCuOR2 produced partially isotactic polylactide (Pm=0.7). The difference in stereocontrol is attributed to a dinuclear active species for LCuOR2 in contrast to a mononuclear species for LCuOR1.
Taktisch verschieden: Diiminopyrrolid‐Kupfer‐Alkoxid‐Komplexe, LCuOR (OR1=N,N‐Dimethylaminoethoxid, OR2=2‐Pyridylmethoxid), sind aktiv in der Polymerisation von rac‐Lactid bei Umgebungstemperatur in Benzol. Während LCuOR1 nur ataktisches Polylactid liefert, produziert LCuOR2 isotaktisch angereichertes Polylactid. Der Unterschied in der Stereokontrolle wird auf eine zweikernige aktive Spezies für LCuOR2 im Unterschied zu einer einkernigen für LCuOR1 zurückgeführt. |
