Following our previous studies on the molecular level structure of (co)oligoesters obtained via anionic homo- and co-polymerization of novel β-substituted β-lactones, prepared by the atmospheric pressure carbonylation reaction of respective epoxides, the boric acid biocatalyzed ring-opening (co)polymerization of δ-valerolactone has been studied. As a co-monomer the 6-methy-ε-caprolactone, prepared by the one-pot oxidation of respective alcohol, and ethylene glycol as polymerization initiator were used. The obtained copolymers were characterized by 1H-NMR, GPC and ESI-MS, respectively in order to confirm their chemical structures and identity. Subsequently, tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS studies) via collision-induced dissociation were utilized to characterize the fragmentation pattern. ESI-MS and NMR analyses confirmed the formation of random linear copolymer chains composed of different polyester repeat units. MS-MS experiments showed that fragmentation proceeds via ester bound cleavage along the (co)polyester chains. The innovative aspect of this contribution is related to the elaboration of the telechelic (co)polymers end-capped with hydroxyl end groups and well-defined molecular architectures, which could facilitate the development of new flexible macromolecular systems for potential biomedical applications. |
