Sustainable base-mediated chemical upcycling of poly (propylene carbonate) to β-hydroxy sulfides and oxides
We present a cesium carbonate–mediated method to upcycle poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) waste into β-hydroxy sulfides, selenides, and phenoxides via selective thermal depolymerization. The process tolerates diverse nucleophiles, including those from multilayer plastics. Mechanistic studies support a cesium aryl thiolate–driven nucleophilic degradation. The β-hydroxy products are easily functionalized, and the base is recyclable, offering a sustainable route for PPC valorization.
期刊介绍:
Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
