Bis- and Tris-Urea H‑Bond Donors for Ring-Opening Polymerization: Unprecedented Activity and Control from an Organocatalyst

A new class of H-bond donating ureas was developed for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactone monomers, and they exhibit dramatic rate acceleration versus previous H-bond mediated polymerization catalysts. The most active of these new catalysts, a tris-urea H-bond donor, is among the most...
