Polycarbonate and poly(carbonate-ester)s synthesized from biocompatible building blocks of glycerol and lactic acid

, p. 3557 - 3562 (2003)
The synthesis and characterization of a polycarbonate of glycerol and poly(carbonate-ester)s of glycerol and L-lactic acid are reported. These new polymers possess a hydrolyzable backbone, tunable hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties, and functionalizable p

In this paper, the catalytic behaviour of carbonaceous system (Ccs) functionalized with –SO3H groups were studied in the etherification of refined (Gly) and crude glycerol (GlyC), with benzyl alcohol (BA). This Ccs was obtained by a synthetic method with low energetic cost in only 24 h. Its catalytic activity and selectivity were studied varying the catalyst percentage (2.5, 5 and 10 wt.%), the initial reactant molar ratio and temperature (between 80 and 120 °C). A very good catalytic performance was achieved (97 % conversion after 360 min of reaction), at 120 °C, Gly:BA = 3:1 and 10 wt.% of Ccs. The high activity can be attributed to high acid site density (6.4 mmol H+/g), that also allowed us to working at lower reaction temperature (100 °C) and with less catalyst concentration (2.5 wt.%), without observing significant loss in BA conversion. Monoether (ME1) was the major product of the reaction with 72 % selectivity. The material can be reused and still gives a notable conversion of BA (about 43 %) after three successive reuses. Finally, the Ccs was active and selective to the desired products in the etherification of crude glycerol (GlyC) derived of biodiesel industry. An important BA conversion (45 %) was obtained only reducing the water content of GlyC and without carrying out any other purification and/or neutralization treatment.

A FeIII-triflate complex, bearing a bis-thioether-di-phenolate [OSSO]-type ligand, was discovered to promote the ring-opening of glycidol with alcohols under mild reaction conditions (0.05 mol % catalyst and 80 °C). The reaction proceeded with high activity (initial turnover frequency of 1680 h?1 for EtOH) and selectivity (>95 %) toward the formation of twelve monoalkyl glyceryl ethers (MAGEs) in a regioselective fashion (84–96 % yield of the non-symmetric regioisomer). This synthetic approach allows the conversion of a glycerol-derived platform molecule (i.e., glycidol) to high-value-added products by using an Earth-crust abundant metal-based catalyst.
