Abstract

Epoxy fatty acids and waste vegetable oils can be strategically utilized as renewable feedstock for the synthesis of novel bio-based oligomers. Herein, we present an efficient synthetic methodology for producing a wide range of bio-oligomers from the ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) reaction of linoleic acid-derived epoxides (MLO, methyl linoleate oxide; ELO, ethyl linoleate oxide; ILO, isopropyl linoleate oxide) or epoxidized sunflower oil (ESO) with cyclic anhydrides (such as phthalic anhydride PA, and maleic anhydride MA). The reaction is catalyzed by a wide variety of commercially available amino acids (AAs) along with tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) serving as a cocatalyst. Among the studied AAs as bio-organocatalysts, L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) exhibited the best performance for the preparation of poly(MLO-co-PA), poly(ELO-co-PA), poly(ILO-co-PA), poly(MLO-co-MA), poly(ELO-co-MA), and poly(ILO-co-MA) achieving a 100 % conversion at 80 °C in only 30 min. In contrast, the synthesis of poly(ESO-co-PA) and poly(ESO-co-MA) required 1 h to reach full conversion under the same conditions. The resulting oligomers were extensively characterized by using NMR, FT-IR, GPC, and TGA. Additionally, a set of computational simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) method was also carried out to support our experimental findings. Climbing-image nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) method was employed to find the minimum energy path (MEP) that describes the reaction mechanism associated with the first step of this chemical transformation. The calculated reaction path provides an energetic and atomistic picture of the studied reaction which aims to understand the role of both catalysts.

氨基酸作为 ROCOP 中的生态友好型生物有机催化剂,利用脂肪酸环氧化物和废葵花籽油制备生物基低聚物
环氧脂肪酸和废弃植物油可作为合成新型生物基低聚物的可再生原料进行战略性利用。在此,我们介绍一种高效的合成方法,利用亚油酸衍生环氧化物(MLO,亚油酸甲酯氧化物;ELO,亚油酸乙酯氧化物;ILO,亚油酸异丙酯氧化物)或环氧化葵花籽油(ESO)与环状酸酐(如邻苯二甲酸酐 PA 和马来酸酐 MA)的开环共聚(ROCOP)反应生产出多种生物低聚物。该反应由多种市售氨基酸(AA)催化,碘化四丁基铵(TBAI)作为助催化剂。在所研究的生物有机催化剂 AAs 中,L-谷氨酸(L-Glu)在制备聚(MLO-co-PA)、聚(ELO-co-PA)、聚(ILO-co-PA)、聚(MLO-co-MA)、聚(ELO-co-MA)和聚(ILO-co-MA)时表现出最佳性能,在 80 °C 下仅需 30 分钟即可实现 100% 转化。相比之下,在相同条件下合成聚(ESO-co-PA)和聚(ESO-co-MA)需要 1 小时才能达到完全转化。通过使用核磁共振、傅立叶变换红外光谱、气相色谱法和热重分析法对所得低聚物进行了广泛表征。此外,我们还基于密度泛函理论(DFT)方法进行了一系列计算模拟,以支持我们的实验结果。我们采用了爬升图像推移弹性带(CI-NEB)方法来寻找最小能量路径(MEP),该路径描述了与这种化学转化的第一步相关的反应机制。计算出的反应路径提供了所研究反应的能量和原子图景,旨在了解两种催化剂的作用。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes. The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods. The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
