(6) PPC Diphenyl Chlaro- 2 94 Diphenyl Phosphate NZ 215 225 aDuration of end-capping reaction. bYield of pure, isolated, end-capped polymer.'Atmosphere under which TGA performed with a Perkin-Elmer TGS-1 B thermogravimetric system. dDetermined by heating a 0.005-g sample, of polymer at 2.5" C/min from an initial temperature of 120 C to the temperature at which a loss of 5% of sample weight was observed. qoly (ethy1ene carbonate). Poly (propy1ene carbonate). oxygen-phosphorus (Table II), or oxygen-sulfur (Table 111) bonds can raise the decomposition temperature of the poly (alky1ene carbonate) s to 250 C. Terminal functionalization of poly (alky1ene carbonate) s is readily effected with a wide variety of reagents. A general experimental procedure consists of solution of the appropriate polycarbonate (5 gm)(4) and end-capping reagent (0.05 mole) in chloroform (50 ml) at room temperature with stirring for 2-6 hr. Completion of reaction is judged by infrared analysis of the product. Bands at 3480 and 3640 cm-', which are characteristic of free hydroxy groups of untreated poly (alky1ene carbonate) s, are absent in end-capped polymer. Slow addition of methanol (100 ml in 30 min), filtration, and drying provide end-capped poly (alky1ene carbonate) in high yield.(See Tables 1-111 for additional experimental data.)During end capping of the poly (alky1ene carbonate), nucleophilic terminal hydroxy groups are replaced with less reactive groupings (eg, acetates, urethanes, sulfonates). Although the potential for depolymerization via chain scission is not affected by the transformation, depolymerization via chain unzipping [eq.(2)] is prevented.
