Enzymatic Ring-Opening Polymerization of Lactones Catalyzed by Lipase

Enzymatic Ring-Opening Polymerization of Lactones Catalyzed by Lipase Enzymatic ring-opening polymerization of lactones was achieved by using lipase as catalyst. The polymerization of ε-caprolactone by Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase at 60 °C in bulk for 10 days afforded a polyester with average molecular weight of 7.0 × 103. From 1H and 13C NMR analysis, the polymer possesses the terminal structure of a carboxylic acid group at one end and a hydroxyl group at the other. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Chemistry Letters Oxford University Press

Abstract

Enzymatic ring-opening polymerization of lactones was achieved by using lipase as catalyst. The polymerization of ε-caprolactone by Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase at 60 °C in bulk for 10 days afforded a polyester with average molecular weight of 7.0 × 103. From 1H and 13C NMR analysis, the polymer possesses the terminal structure of a carboxylic acid group at one end and a hydroxyl group at the other.
