Abstract

The application of bio-based solvents for living radical polymerization has been a hot topic in recent year. In this article, γ-valerolactone (GVL), a bio-based solvent as green media for ARGET atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene (St) were investigated. We first conducted polymerization of St in γ-valerolactone using copper(ii) bromide as the catalyst, tris(2-pyridylmethyl) amine as the ligand, and only sodium ascorbate as reducing agent. The polymerization achieved moderate conversion; however, the controllability of polymerization was not very good, providing a polymer with a broad molecular weight distribution (M w/M n > 1.30). When sodium carbonate is introduced, excellent results were obtained providing high yields and low M w/M n values under very low catalyst usage (∼5 ppm). 1H NMR spectroscopy, chain extension, and MALDI–MS experiments confirmed the final polymer chains with high fidelity. The use of GVL solvent opens a new route for the easy synthesis of PS through ARGET ATRP with low catalyst usage conditions.

苯乙烯在生物基溶剂 γ-戊内酯中的 ARGET ATRP，催化剂用量少

生物基溶剂在活自由基聚合中的应用是近年来的热门话题。本文研究了生物基溶剂γ-戊内酯（GVL）作为苯乙烯（St）ARGET原子转移自由基聚合（ATRP）的绿色介质。我们首先以溴化铜（ii）为催化剂，以三（2-吡啶基甲基）胺为配体，仅以抗坏血酸钠为还原剂，在γ-戊内酯中对苯乙烯进行了聚合。聚合过程实现了中等转化率，但聚合的可控性不佳，得到的聚合物分子量分布较宽（M w/M n > 1.30）。引入碳酸钠后，在催化剂用量极低（5 ppm）的情况下，获得了高产率和低 M w/M n 值的优异结果。1H NMR 光谱、链延伸和 MALDI-MS 实验证实了最终聚合物链的高保真性。GVL 溶剂的使用为在低催化剂用量条件下通过 ARGET ATRP 轻松合成 PS 开辟了一条新途径。
