反応手順

A flame dried, 250 mL, round bottom single neck flask was charged with 57.1 grams (0.50 mole) of ε-caprolactone, 51.0 grams (0.50 mole) of trimethylene carbonate, 4.4 mL (60mmol) of propylene glycol (USP), and 0.10 mL (34 μmol) of a 0.33M solution of stannous octoate in toluene. The flask was fitted with a flame dried mechanical stirrer. The flask was purged with nitrogen three times before venting with nitrogen. The reaction mixture was heated to 160° C. and maintained at this temperature for about 18-20 hours. The copolymer was dried under vacuum (0.1 mm Hg) at 80° C. for about 16 hours to remove any unreacted monomer. The copolymer had an inherent viscosity of 0.20 dL/g in HFIP at 25° C. The copolymer was a viscous liquid at room temperature.
