Contradictions have been reported on the effect of organic solvents, especially toluene, on enzymatic ring-opening polymerization (eROP) of L-lactide. Studies have shown that log P, a common measure of hydrophilicity, affects enzyme activity. This study examines the effect of solvents with various log P values on the eROP of L-lactide, performed using lipase (CRL). N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, diphenyl ether, and dodecane were used as the organic solvents. The eROP in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF]) was also conducted to compare its performance with the organic solvents. The results show that [BMIM][PF]-mediated eROP gave better conversion and molecular weight than the organic solvent-mediated eROP. In this study, the effects of solvents hydrophilicity are discussed, including the possibility of hexafluorophosphate ion ([PF]) hydrolysis to occur.
关于有机溶剂,尤其是甲苯,对L-丙交酯酶促开环聚合反应(eROP)的影响,已有相互矛盾的报道。研究表明,log P(一种衡量亲水性的常用指标)会影响酶的活性。本研究考察了具有不同log P值的溶剂对使用脂肪酶(CRL)进行的L-丙交酯eROP的影响。N,N-二甲基乙酰胺(DMA)、1,2-二甲氧基苯、1,4-二甲氧基苯、二苯醚和十二烷被用作有机溶剂。还在离子液体1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐([BMIM][PF])中进行了eROP,以将其性能与有机溶剂进行比较。结果表明,[BMIM][PF]介导的eROP比有机溶剂介导的eROP具有更高的转化率和分子量。在本研究中,讨论了溶剂亲水性的影响,包括六氟磷酸根离子([PF])发生水解的可能性。
