Abstract

Abstract : Synthetic transformation of d -xylose into a four-membered cyclic ether allows for reactions with CO2 leading to linear polycarbonates by either ring-opening copolymerisation directly or by isolation of a six-membered cyclic carbonate followed by ring-opening polymerisation. Abstract : Synthetic transformation of d -xylose into a four-membered cyclic ether allows for reactions with carbon dioxide (CO2 ) leading to linear polycarbonates by either a one-step ring-opening copolymerisation (ROCOP) directly, or by sequential isolation of a preformed six-membered cyclic carbonate followed by ring-opening polymerisation (ROP).
