Abstrakt: The enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of poly(1,6-hexanediyl terephthalate) and poly(1,6-hexanediyl isophthalate) is described. An unsuccessfull attempt to synthesize poly(1,6-hexanediyl o-phthalate) is also presented and the reactivity of those three monomers is discussed according to the enzymatic nature of the catalyst. The crude polyesters are characterized by H and C NMR spectroscopy and by differential scanning calorimetry. Macrocycles are isolated from poly(1,6-hexanediyl isophthalate) and characterized by steric exclusion chromatography and by mass spectrometry. The number-average molar masses and the thermal properties of the crude, linear and cyclic polyesters are also reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
