General description

Menthide is a seven-membered, plant-derived lactone monomer that can be readily polymerized via ring opening polymerization (ROP). Controlled ROP has yielded aliphatic polyesters with high molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (PDI). Menthide has been copolymerized with other biologically derived monomers, such as lactide, to yield products such as thermoplastic elastomers and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

We report the one-pot copolymerization of ω-pentadecalactone (PDL) to produce tri- and diblock-like copolymers with the ability to undergo postpolymerization modification. The ε-substituted ε-lactone (εSL), menthide (MI), was copolymerized with PDL to introduce side chain functionality into poly(ω-pentadecalactone) (PPDL) copolymers.

Renewable ABA triblock copolymers were prepared by sequential polymerization of the plant-based monomers menthide and α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (MBL or tulipalin A). Ring-opening transesterification polymerization of menthide using diethylene glycol as an initiator gave α,ω-dihydroxy poly(menthide) (HO-PM-OH), which was converted to α,ω-dibromo
