Abstract
This thesis presents the synthesis of two novel O-carboxyanhydrides derived from L-malic acid bearing 2,2,2-trichloroethyl- and 2-nitrobenzyl esters, followed by investigation of their ring-opening polymerisation to furnish chiral, functionalised poly(malic acid)s.
A further report is made of the synthesis of two novel chiral cyclic carbonates bearing leucine derivatives coupled with amide and ester linkages, the ring-opening polymerisation is investigated and leads to the controlled synthesis of dihydroxyl telechelic poly(carbonate)s with inherent chirality.
Finally, the synthesis of a cyclic carbonate bearing pendant glycidyl ether functionality is reported, followed by investigation of the homopolymerisation to yield a poly(carbonate) bearing pendant epoxide functionality, the first known report for a degradable polymer. The
post-polymerisation functionalisation of this homopolymer by the addition of amines is investigated to allow a variety of functional groups to be incorporated.
