Abstract

We describe a straightforward synthetic strategy for a new family of functional poly(ester–amide)s (PEAs) with tertiary ester linkages via the Passerini multicomponent polymerization (Passerini-MCP) of a diacid (A2), 1,6-diisocyanohexane (B2), and four kinds of electron-deficient ketones. First, Passerini three-component reactions (Passerni-3CR) of hexanoic acid and tert-butyl isocyanide with nine kinds of ketones were investigated to evaluate the reactivities of these ketones toward Passerni-3CR. Four electron-deficient ketones, 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone (1), 1,1,1-trifluoroacetophenone (2), ethyl pyruvate (3), and 2,3-butanedione (4), were found to be excellent oxo-compounds for this Passerini-3CR. Then, the Passerini-MCP of A2 and B2 with 1, 2, 3, and 4 in CH2Cl2 was performed to generate polymers P1–P4 with tertiary ester linkages and different electron-withdrawing substituents. Polymer P5 was also prepared by the Passerini-MCP of A2 and B2 with phenylacetaldehyde (5) for comparison. Size exclusion chrom...
