The synthesis and ring-opening polymerisation of functionalised chiral O-carboxyanhydrides and cyclic carbonates
This thesis presents the synthesis of two novel O-carboxyanhydrides derived from L-malic acid bearing 2,2,2-trichloroethyl- and 2-nitrobenzyl esters, followed by investigation of their ring-opening polymerisation to furnish chiral, functionalised poly(malic acid)s. A further report is made of the sy...
