AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing rare earth metal complexes have insufficient activity and stereoselectivity in the catalytic racemic lactide ring-opening polymerization, and are low in tolerance to impurities, making it difficult to achieve industrial application.

Method used

A class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic substituted hexadentate aminophenoloxy rare earth complexes were developed to regulate the Lewis acidity and steric hindrance of the rare earth metal center by changing the azeheterocyclic and phenoloxy ortho-substituents in the ligand, used to catalyze the ring-opening polymerization of racemic lactide and applied to the copolymerization of lactide and ε-caprolactone.

Benefits of technology

The catalytic effect of high activity and high stereoselectivity is achieved, and catalytic activity can be maintained in the presence of impurities, and the multi-block copolymerization of lactide and ε-caprolactone is achieved through one-pot feeding to obtain a high molecular weight polyester material.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a class of nitrogen heterocycle-substituted hexa-dentate aminophenoxy rare earth complexes (I), a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in the highly active catalytic ring-opening polymerization of lactones. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting a neutral ligand with a metal raw material compound in an organic medium, then adding an alcohol for reaction, and obtaining the target compound through filtration, concentration, and recrystallization. The nitrogen heterocycle-substituted hexa-dentate aminophenoxy rare earth complex of the present invention is a highly efficient catalyst for the ring-opening polymerization of lactones, and can be used for catalyzing the polymerization reaction of lactones such as lactide, and catalyzing the one-pot copolymerization of lactide and ε-caprolactone to obtain a multi-block copolymer. The nitrogen heterocycle-substituted hexa-dentate aminophenoxy rare earth complex of the present invention has good tolerance to impurities, has very high catalytic activity, and can obtain high molecular weight polyester materials. A has a structure shown in formula (II), (III), (IV) or (V); B has a structure shown in formula (VI) or (VII).
