Adipic acid Sorbitol-containing polyesters

Table 1. Monomer feed ratios (mol to mol), polymer compositions (mol to mol), and molecular weights of sorbitol containing polyesters. S Sorbitol, O Octanediol, A Adipic acid.

It has also been shown that lipase CA can produce reduced sugar-containing polyesters regioselectively from divinyl sebacate and sorbitol, in which sorbitol was exclusively acylated at the 1 and 6-positions (Scheme 23.11) [115]. Mannitol and meso-erythritol were also regioselectively polymerized with divinyl sebacate. The lipase CA-catalyzed polycondensation of adipic acid and sorbitol also took place in...
