This paper investigates the transesterification of methyl 3-mercaptopropionate (MP-SH) with tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEG)s catalyzed by Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) without the use of solvent (in bulk). The progress of the reactions was monitored by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. We found that the reactions proceeded in a step-wise manner, first producing monothiols. TEG-monothiol was obtained in 15 min, while conversion to dithiol took 8 h. Monothiols from PEGs with Mn = 1000 and 2050 g/mol were obtained in 8 and 16 h, respectively. MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry verified the absence of dithiols. The synthesis of dithiols required additional fresh CALB and MP-SH. The structure of the products was confirmed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Enzyme catalysis was found to be a powerful tool to effectively synthesize thiol-functionalized TEGs and PEGs.

Abstract Expressions for the degree of randomness, B, and for the number- and weight-average block lengths of condensation copolymers containing both symmetrical (AA + BB) and unsymmetrical (AB) monomer units are established through an approach based on functional group probabilities. Several parameters introduced in literature to characterize randomness in AA + BB condensation copolymers are also calculated using this approach and compared to B, showing that they are simple linear or rational functions of B. A method for calculating functional group probabilities from the dyad and triad number-fractions determined by NMR spectroscopy is described for poly(ethylene terephthalate)-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolyesters. This method obviously applies to any AA + BB + AB polycondensation and is easily generalizable to other types of condensation copolymers.
