Polyanhydrides synthesis conditions

Several approaches were examined for synthesizing polyanhydrides melt polycondensation, dehydrochlorination, and dehydrative coupling. A report of polyanhydride synthesis techniques and polymerization conditions for polyanhydrides appears in Leong et al. (22). 

We examined several approaches for synthesizing polyanhydrides, including melt polycondensation, dehydrochlorination, and dehydrative coupling. Extensive details of these new polymer synthesis techniques and numerous polymerization conditions for a wide variety of polyanhydrides were previously described (1). 

Various combinations of dicarboxylic acid derivatives and glycols enzymatically afforded polyesters under mild reaction conditions. Dicarboxylic acids as well as derivatives, activated and non-activated esters, cyclic acid anhydride, and polyanhydrides, were found to be useful as monomer for the enzymatic synthesis of polyesters. 

Lipase-Catalyzed Polymerization of Dicarboxylic Acids or Their Derivatives. Enzymatic synthesis has been achieved via various combinations of dicarboxylic acid derivatives and glycols. As to the diacid monomer, dicarboxylic acids, activated and nonactivated esters, cyclic acid anhydrides, and polyanhydrides were enzymatically reacted with glycols under mild reaction conditions.
