Gradient isoselective ring-opening polymerization of racemic cyclic diolide driven by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis

Commercially available binaphthol-derived chiral phosphoric acid organocatalysts were demonstrated to enable chemo- and stereoselective ROP of rac-cyclic diolide, yielding gradient isotactic multiblock poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB).
