Both monomer and copolymer synthesis proved scalable. Polymers’ properties were excellent and they could react with electrophiles to produce diverse functional materials.
Synopsis: bridged δ-valerolactam-γ-lactones have been skeletally remodelled to highly decorated 3-hydroxy-2-piperidinone carboxamides by catalytic and site-selective deconstructive aminolysis with amines.
CFeS-WS was synthesized by the modified method and exhibited excellent removal performance for U(VI). The proposed reaction mechanism of U(VI) removal by CFeS-WS was elaborated in detail.
Key intermediates in the total synthesis of indole-monoterpene alkaloids were obtained from a C2-radical alkylation of indoles using lactam-derived xanthates.
This feature article outlines biobased monomer types and their design philosophy targeting three main polymerization routes towards achieving sustainable polymers with amide groups.
