Chiral diboranes as catalysts for the stereoselective organopolymerization of epoxides
Ayla Sirin-Sariaslan, Stefan Naumann
Abstract
-enriched sequences of PPO on aliphatic polyester-type initiators, thus enabling the incorporation of stereocontrolled polyether blocks in more complex polymer architectures. It is expected that this ability will greatly benefit the preparation of polyether-containing additives. The BINOL-type diboranes can be readily modified, suggesting further potential as a platform from which optimized catalysts can be developed.
