Abstract

1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD)-catalyzed polycondensation reactions of fatty acid derived dimethyl dicarbamates and diols are introduced as a versatile, non-isocyanate route to renewable polyurethanes. The key step for the synthesis of dimethyl carbamate monomers from plant-oil-derived dicarboxylic acids is based on a sustainable base-catalyzed Lossen rearrangement. The formed polyurethanes with molecular weights up to 25 kDa are characterized by SEC, DSC, and NMR analysis.
