The Na salt of chloroacetic acid is condensed in suspension. Furthermore,glycolic acid is condensed in bulk or in concentrated solution by means of SnCl2 or 4-toluene sulfonic acid (TSA) as catalysts. The temperatures are varied from 160 to 200°C and the time from 1 to 5 days. Low molar mass cyclic poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) is detected by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI TOF) mass spectrometry in most PGAs. A predominance of certain cycles having an even number of repeat units is observed suggesting a thermodynamically favored formation of extended-ring crystals. Extremely high melting temperatures (up to 237.5°C)and high melting enthalpies are found for polycondensations with TSA in 1,2-dichlorobenzene.
Numerous polycondensations of isosorbide and suberoyl chloride or other aliphatic dicarboxylic acid dichlorides were performed with pyridine as a catalyst and HCl acceptor. The reaction conditions were varied to optimize both the molecular weight and the fraction of cyclic oligo- and polyesters. Furthermore, we attempted to obtain the cyclic monomer by catalyzed back-biting degradation of the molten cyclic polyesters above 220 °C in vacuo. The polyesters were characterized by viscosity and size exclusion chromatographic measurements as well as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In selected cases, mixtures of linear and cyclic polyesters were treated with a hot solution of partially methylated ß-cyclodextrin in methanol. This treatment allowed for a selective extraction of the linear chains up to approximately 5000 Da.
