Zn(OAc)2-catalyzing ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides for the synthesis of well-defined polypeptides

Article abstract of DOI:10.3390/molecules23040760

Despite notable progress, the fabrication of well-defined polypeptides via controlled ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) using convenient catalysts under mild conditions in a relatively short polymerization time i
