Title: | Accelerated Polypeptide Synthesis via N-CarboxyanhydrideRing Opening Polymerization in Continuous Flow | Authors: | VRIJSEN, Jeroen Rasines Mazo, Alicia JUNKERS, Tanja Qiao, Greg Guanghua |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH | Source: | Macromolecular rapid communications, 41 (18), (Art N° 2000071) | Abstract: | In nature, polypeptide-based materials are ubiquitous, yet their synthetic production is hampered by high cost, limited scalability, and often stringent reaction conditions. Herein an elegant approach is presented forN-carboxyanhydride ring opening polymerization (NCA ROP) ofN epsilon-benzyloxycarbonyl-l-lysine (ZLL) and gamma-benzyl-l-glutamate (BLG) NCA in continuous flow. The polymerization is initiated by primary amine initiators usingN,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent. Carrying out the reaction in a silicon microflow reactor speeds up the rate of ROP (92% conversion in 40 min in flow as opposed to 6 h in batch) due to highly efficient permeation of CO(2)through the reactor tubing. The polymerization strategy provides a facile, scale-up friendly alternative to traditional batch mode polymerization and has the capability of streamlining NCA ROP. | Notes: | Qiao, GG (corresponding author), Univ Melbourne, Polymer Sci Grp, Dept Chem Engn, Parkville, Vic 3010, Australia.; Junkers, T (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, Organ & Bio Polymer Chem, Inst Mat Res, Agoralaan, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium.; Junkers, T (corresponding author), Monash Univ, Polymer React Design Grp, Sch Chem, Clayton, Vic 3800, Australia. tanja.junkers@monash.edu; gregghq@unimelb.edu.au |
