Abstract

When aiming at the direct use of CO2 for the preparation of advanced/value-added materials, the synthesis of CO2/olefin copolymers is very appealing but challenging. The δ-lactone 3-ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (EVP), synthesized by telomerization of CO2 with 1,3-butadiene, is a promising monomer. However, its chemoselective ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is hampered by unfavorable thermodynamics and the competitive polymerization of highly reactive C=C double bonds under usual conditions. Herein, we report the chemoselective ROP of EVP using a phosphazene/urea binary catalyst, affording exclusively a linear unsaturated polyester poly(EVP)ROP, with a molar mass (Mn) up to 16.1 kg·mol−1 and a narrow distribution (Ð
