- W1991001415 abstract "The use of carbon dioxide as a carbon source for the synthesis of organic chemicals can contribute to a more sustainable chemical industry. Because CO2 is such a thermodynamically stable molecule, few effective catalysts are available to facilitate this transformation. Currently, the major industrial processes that convert CO2 into viable products generate urea and hydroxybenzoic acid. One of the most promising new technologies for the use of this abundant, inexpensive, and nontoxic renewable resource is the alternating copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides to provide biodegradable polycarbonates, which are highly valuable polymeric materials. Because this process often generates byproducts, such as polyether or ether linkages randomly dispersed within the polycarbonate chains and/or the more thermodynamically stable cyclic carbonates, the choice of catalyst is critical for selectively obtaining the expected product.In this Account, we outline our efforts to develop highly active Co(III)-based catalysts for the selective production of polycarbonates from the alternating copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides. Binary systems consisting of simple (salen)Co(III)X and a nucleophilic cocatalyst exhibited high activity under mild conditions even at 0.1 MPa CO2 pressure and afforded copolymers with >99% carbonate linkages and a high regiochemical control (∼95% head-to-tail content). Discrete, one-component (salen)Co(III)X complexes bearing an appended quaternary ammonium salt or sterically hindered Lewis base showed excellent activity in the selectively alternating copolymerization of CO2 with both aliphatic epoxides and cyclohexene oxide at high temperatures with low catalyst loading and/or low pressures of CO2. Binary or one-component catalysts based on unsymmetric multichiral Co(III) complexes facilitated the efficient enantioselective copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides, providing aliphatic polycarbonates with >99% head-to-tail content. These systems were also very efficient in catalyzing the terpolymerization of cyclohexene oxide, propylene oxide and CO2. The resulting terpolymer had a single glass-transition temperature and a single thermolysis peak.This Account also provides a thorough mechanistic understanding of the high activities, excellent selectivities, and unprecedented stereochemical control of these Co(III)-based catalysts in the production of CO2 copolymers . The catalysis occurs through a cooperative monometallic mechanism, in which the Lewis acidic Co(III) ion serves as electrophile to activate then epoxide and the nucleophilic counterion or cocatalyst serves as a nucleophile to initiate polymer-chain growth. The high activity and excellent regioselectivity observed in the epoxide ring-opening reactions results from epoxide activation through the moderate electrophilicity of the Co(III) ion, the fast insertion of CO2 into the Co–O bond, and the facile dissociation of the propagating carboxylate species from the central metal ion. The reversible intra- or intermolecular Co–O bond formation and dissociation helps to stabilize the active Co(III) species against reversion to the inactive Co(II) ion. We also describe our laboratory’s recent preparation of the first crystalline CO2-based polymer via highly stereospecific copolymerization of CO2 and meso-cyclohexene oxide and the selective synthesis of perfectly alternating polycarbonates from the coupling of CO2 with epoxides bearing an electron-withdrawing group." @default.
