Glycol-functionalized ionic liquids for high-temperature enzymatic ring-opening polymerization

Enzymatic ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is a benign method for preparing polyesters, such as polylactides and other polylactones. These reactions are typically carried out at relatively high temperatures (60-130 °C), however, there is a deficiency of enzyme-compatible solvents for such thermally-demanding biocatalytic processes. In this study, we have prepared a series of short-chained glycol-grafted ionic liquids (ILs) based on a phosphonium, imidazolium, pyridinium, ammonium, or piperidinium cationic headgroup. Most of these glycol-grafted ILs exhibit relatively low dynamic viscosities (33-123 mPa s at 30 °C), coupled with excellent short-term thermal stabilities with decomposition temperatures (Tdcp) in the 318-403 °C range. Significantly, the long-term thermal stability under conditions matching those for enzymatic ROP synthesis (130 °C for 7 days) is excellent for several of these task-specific ILs. Using Novozym 435-catalyzed ROP, these ILs are demonstrated to be viable solvents for the enzymatic production of reasonable yields (30-48%) of high molecular mass (Mw ～20 kDa) poly(l-lactide) and poly(?-caprolactone) compared to solventless conditions (12-14 kDa).

Iron-catalyzed quick homocoupling reaction of aryl or alkynyl Grignard reagents using a phosphonium ionic liquid solvent system

The iron-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of aryl Grignard reagent was completed very quickly when the reaction was carried out in a phosphonium salt ionic liquid solvent system at 0°C for 5 min. Using a similar reaction system, the first example of the iron-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of alkynyl Grignard reagents has also been accomplished using the ionic liquid technology.

Design of ionic liquids as a medium for the Grignard reaction

Design of novel phosphonium ionic liquids that are compatible with Grignard reagents have been investigated; several types of phosphonium salts that have an alkyl ether moiety have been synthesized and their capability evaluated as solvents for Grignard reagents. It has been established that even basic aliphatic Grignard reagent-mediated reactions are possible when methoxyethyl(tri-n-butyl)phosphonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide is used as the solvent.
