The invention discloses polythioester with a main chain containing a carbon-carbon
double bond, the polythioester is of a fully alternating copolymerization structure, each repetitive unit contains a
sulfur element and the carbon-carbon
double bond, the structural general formula is shown in the following formula (I) or (II), and in the formula, n is selected from 1-500; r1 is selected from
hydrogen, methyl or isobutyl; r2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from
hydrogen or methyl; r5 is selected from
hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or phenyl; and R6 is selected from hydrogen or methyl. The invention discloses alternating copolymerization polythioester containing a carbon-carbon
double bond with a clear
chain structure, wherein the content of an alternating copolymerization
chain link is 99%; a carbon-carbon double bond is introduced into a main chain, so that the polythioester has the advantages of degradability and
sulfur content, also has high reaction activity, and is convenient for
chemical modification for practical application. (I); and (II).
