3-Ethyl-6-vinyltetrahydro-2 H -pyran-2-one (EVP): a versatile CO 2 -derived lactone platform for polymer synthesis.

Published in: Chemical communications (Cambridge, England) (2022)

3-Ethyl-6-vinyltetrahydro-2 H -pyran-2-one (EVP) is a CO 2 -derived lactone synthesized via Pd-catalyzed telomerization of butadiene. As EVP is 28.9% by weight CO 2 , it has received significant recent attention as an intermediary for the synthesis of high CO 2 -content polymers. This article provides an overview of strategies for the polymerization of EVP to a wide variety of polymer structures, ranging from radical polymerizations to ring-opening polymerizations, that each take unique advantage of the highly functionalized lactone.
