Synthesis of photoresponsive biobased adhesive polymers via the Passerini three-component reaction - Polymer Journal

|
By Kiho Matsubara, Kenji Takada
| Nature Verified
Abstract In this study, adhesive polymers were designed and synthesized using biobased compounds as building blocks. Using the Passerini three-component reaction (Passerini-3CR) as a postpolymerization modification process, photoresponsive phenylpropanoid units were introduced into biobased adhesive polymers via a one-step process that bypassed a protection-deprotection strategy. These biobased adhesive polymers showed good adhesion properties for quartz plates.

Poly(ethyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(4-vinylphenoxy)acetate) (PSt-OCF2CO2Et) was rationally designed as a vinyl polymer featuring α,α-difluoro-α-(aryloxy)acetate units as activated ester moieties. The aminolysis of PSt-OCF2CO2Et was conducted, resulting in a 100% conversion of ester units to α,α-difluoroacetamide derivatives. This experimental observation showed good agreement with computational analysis at the density functional theory (DFT) level and the DLPNO-CCSD(T) level of theory.
