What is On the Formation of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by Thermolysis of Metal 3-Halogenobutyrates in the Absence of a Solvent about?
The thermochemical behaviour of metal salts (M = Na, Rb, Cs, Ag) of 3-chloro-and 3-bromobutyric acid was studied with respect to the elimination of a metal halide and the formation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), P-3HB, a biodegradable polyester. Two possible reaction pathways for this elimination reaction were found. The polycondensation to P-3HB was favoured at lower temperature whereas the formation of volatile crotonic acid and isocrotonic acid was favoured at higher temperature. In the case of silver 3chlorobutyrate where AgCl was eliminated and P-3HB was the major product. All other combinations of metals and halogen gave only small amounts of polymer.
