Oxidative oligomerization of cyclodextrin-complexed bifunctional phenols catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase in water

The HRP-catalyzed oligomerization of hydrophobic bifunctional phenols in water was realized by the use of 2.6-di-O-methylated beta-cyclodextrin. The molecular weights of the resulting oligomers were in the same region as they were reached by conventional HRP-catalyzed oligomerizations in water/dioxa...

Summary:The HRP-catalyzed oligomerization of hydrophobic bifunctional phenols in water was realized by the use of 2.6-di-O-methylated beta-cyclodextrin. The molecular weights of the resulting oligomers were in the same region as they were reached by conventional HRP-catalyzed oligomerizations in water/dioxane-mixtures. The polymerizable moieties, maleimide and methacrylamide, were not affected during the oligomerization process, as proofed by NMR. MALDI-TOF and FT-LR measurements. It was therefore possible to get soluble functionalized oligomers, which were crosslinked via radical copolymerization with suitable components (styrene, MMA) or heating.
