Synthesis of d-xylopyranan by the ring-opening polymerization of 3-O-benzyl-α-d-xylopyranose 1,2,4-orthopivalate. Attempts to synthesize a stereoregular polymer
摘要:
3-O-Benzpl-alpha -D-xylopyranose 1,2,4-orthopivalate (1) was newly synthesized and polymerized under cationic polymerization reaction conditions in order to synthesize stereoregular (1 --> 4)-beta -D-xylopyranan. Although the polymerization of orthopivalate 1 was carried out under various reaction conditions, a non-stereoregular polymer, but mainly consisting of (1 --> 4)-beta -xylopyranose units, was obtained. Comparing these results with those of glucose 1,2,4-orthopivalates, it was revealed that not only the substituents in the C-2 and C-3 positions, but also the CH2OR group in glucose 1,2,4-orthopivalate, largely contribute to (1 --> 4)-beta -glucosidic bond formation by the ring-opening polymerization.
