Fast and selective organocatalytic ring-opening polymerization by fluorinated alcohol without a cocatalyst
Polymerizations promoted by organic catalysts can produce polymeric materials without any metallic residues contamination. Here the authors show a fluorinated alcohol based catalytic system for polypeptide synthesis from α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydride, fulfilling cocatalyst and metal free condition...

Summary: | Polymerizations promoted by organic catalysts can produce polymeric materials without any metallic residues contamination. Here the authors show a fluorinated alcohol based catalytic system for polypeptide synthesis from α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydride, fulfilling cocatalyst and metal free conditions with high rate and selectivity. |
