Controlled Ring-Opening Polymerization of 5-Phenyl-1,4-dioxan-2-one toward Stereochemically Tunable and Closed-Loop Recyclable Polyesters

Abstract The practical applications of closed-loop recyclable polymers demand monomers that are readily accessible from simple feedstocks while enabling controlled polymerization and tunable physical properties. Herein, we report a one-pot synthesis of 5-phenyl-1,4-dioxan-2-one (...
