In the last decade, there has been increasing interest in using ionic liquid (IL) as solvents for chemical reactions. The interest is stimulated not only by their non-volatility but also by their special properties such as reactivity and selectivity. In the polymer chemistry fields, it is not easy to use the ILs because the polymer doesn’t dissolve in ILs. Recently, we investigated the solubility of functional polymers in ILs. Interestingly, polymers bearing oxyethylene units or hydroxy groups have good solubility in ILs. Based on this result, we could synthesize the various polymers through polymer analogous reactions in ILs. The reactions of polyepichlorohydrin and fluorinated alkanethiols in IL, [bmim][Cl], were the most successful case which could afford higher conversions and better yields than the corresponding reaction using the common organic solvents. These results demonstrate the potential of the IL as an alternative to organic solvents for polymer analogous reactions. |
