Problems solved by technology

Disulfide bonds and tert-butyl sulfide are currently reported in the literature for the protection of thiol groups in initiators, but they are only suitable for anionic ring-opening polymerization under strong alkaline conditions
The thiol-based diheterofunctional PEG is widely used, but the development of synthetic methods is relatively slow, which arouses our thinking, how to obtain a high degree of thiol functionalization and controllable structure and molecular weight through a simpler and more practical method. α-Mercapto-ω-hydroxyl polyether

Embodiment 1

[0052] One-pot two-step synthesis of α-mercapto-ω-hydroxypolyethylene oxide. (1) Ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) was carried out using thioacetic acid as an initiator and a metal-free Lewis acid-base pair as a catalyst; (2) In situ aminolysis deacetylation. The specific operation is as follows:

[0053] Both tetrahydrofuran (THF) and EO are used after purification and dehydration treatment, and thioacetic acid can be used directly. Under an inert atmosphere, mix 1 part of thioacetic acid (0.5 mmol), 0.1 part of phosphazene base t BuP 1 , 0.5 parts of tri-sec-butylborane and THF (1ml) were successively added into a dry glass reactor and stirred and mixed evenly. In this example, the molar ratio of thioacetic acid, organic base and alkylboron was 1:0.1:0.5 . Connect the glass reactor to a vacuum line, remove part of the gas in the bottle, and cool down with an ice-water bath. Distilled 90 parts of dry EO (where [EO] 0 =15mol / L), and react in a sealed gla...

Abstract

The invention discloses a simple and controllable method for synthesizing α-mercapto-ω-hydroxyl polyether by using thiocarboxylic acid as an initiator. The method comprises: under an inert atmosphere, adding an epoxy monomer into a catalytic initiation system comprising thiocarboxylic acid, an organic base and an alkyl boron, and reacting to obtain α-thiocarboxylate-ω-hydroxyl polyether; ammonia After the thioester is decomposed, the α-mercapto-ω-hydroxyl polyether is obtained. The invention replaces the traditional hydroxyl initiator with thiocarboxylic acid, introduces thioester quantitatively and at fixed points at the end of polyether, and introduces mercapto groups quantitatively and at fixed points at the end of polyether by using the property that thioester is easy to ammonolysis. The synergistic catalysis of the metal-free Lewis acid-base pair enables the reaction of thiocarboxylic acid and epoxy monomer and the reaction of hydroxyl and epoxy monomer to be efficiently carried out at room temperature; the selectivity of the catalytic system makes transesterification Side reactions such as chain transfer to monomers are completely suppressed, thereby synthesizing double-terminal heterofunctionalized polyethers with controllable molecular weight and clear end group structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of polyether synthesis, and in particular relates to a simple and controllable method for synthesizing α-mercapto-ω-hydroxy polyether by using thiocarboxylic acid as an initiator. Background technique [0002] Using ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, etc. as raw materials, the aliphatic polyether synthesized by ring-opening homopolymerization or copolymerization under the action of a catalyst is a kind of important polymer with relatively mature development. The polyether main chain is composed of ether bonds (-C-O-C-), which is an important supplement to polyolefin polymers in terms of performance. Among them, polyethylene oxide (PEO; also known as polyethylene glycol, PEG) has excellent water solubility and biocompatibility, and is regarded as the "gold standard" in the fields of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and medical treatment. In addition to the main chain structure and side groups, the functional groups at the ch...
