Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a series of primary and secondary alcohol adducts of 1,3-dimesitylimidazolin-2-ylidene is described. These adducts are stable as solids at room temperature, but readily release alcohol and the free carbene in solution. These alcohol adducts function as excellent single-component catalyst/initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of lactide under mild conditions, providing polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. Multifunctional adducts were used to prepare poly(lactide)s of more complex architectures.Entities:
