“…As mentioned earlier, the number of examples involving post‐polymerization enzymatic functionalization of synthetic polymers is also rather limited. Jarvie et al54 showed that CALB was able to catalyze the epoxidation of polybutadiene selectively in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and catalytic amount of acetic acid. Approximately 60% of the 1,4‐ cis and trans double bonds in the backbone was epoxidized, whereas the pendant vinyl groups remained intact.…”

ABSTRACT:The use of enzymes as catalysts for organic synthesis has become an increasingly attractive alternative to conventional chemical catalysis. Enzymes offer several advantages including high selectivity, ability to operate under mild conditions, catalyst recyclability, and biocompatibility. Although there are many examples in the literature involving enzymes for the synthesis of polymers, our search showed that very little had been done in the area of polymer modification. In this article, we will discuss enzyme catalysis in general and highlight our recent results concerning precision polymer functionalization using enzymatic catalysis-''green polymer chemistry.''

“…Jarvie et al showed that hydrogen peroxide and catalytic amount of acetic acid (10 wt %) can selectively epoxidize polybutadiene ( M n = 1300 g/mol) (35% trans , 20% cis , 45% vinyl) in organic solvents in the presence of CALB (Scheme 15). The cis and trans alkene bonds of the polybutadiene backbone were epoxidized in yields of up to 60% while the pendant vinyl groups were untouched [69]. It has been reported earlier that CALB does not catalyzes the actual epoxidation reaction.…”

Enzyme catalyzed reactions are green alternative approaches to functionalize polymers compared to conventional methods. This technique is especially advantageous due to the high selectivity, high efficiency, milder reaction conditions, and recyclability of enzymes. Selected reactions can be conducted under solventless conditions without the application of metal catalysts. Hence this process is becoming more recognized in the arena of biomedical applications, as the toxicity created by solvents and metal catalyst residues can be completely avoided. In this review we will discuss fundamental aspects of chemical reactions biocatalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B, and their application to create new functionalized polymers, including the regio-and chemoselectivity of the reactions.

“…Solvent-free techniques, green solvents, water 6 , phase-transfer catalysts, or ionic liquids 7 have replaced hazardous, toxic and volatile organic solvents 8 . On the other hand, enzymes [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] , silica gel and silica-supported reagents 16 , as well as clay minerals [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] are increasingly being used as catalysts. Furthermore, all reactions in this study are conducted at room temperature [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] .…”

Maghnite-H + (Mag-H), proton-exchanged Montmorillonite, catalyzed the cationic copolymerization of 2-Chloroethyl Vinyl Ether (CEVE) with Styrene (St) in a solvent free system. The objective is to synthesize an end-group functionalized copolymer. The advantage of the Mag-H lies in its capacity to solve ecological (green catalyst) and economic problems, and also to the fact that the reactions are carried out under moderate conditions, solvent free and at room temperature. A kinetic study was carried out, and the products obtained were characterized using different methods of analysis, including IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR and viscosimetry.
