Chapter 28, Problem 57P

Compound A is a novel poly (ester amide) copolymer that can be used as a bioabsorbable coating for the controlled release of drugs. A is a copolymer of four monomers, two of which are amino acids or amino acid derivatives. The body’s enzymes recognize the naturally occurring amino acids in the polymer backbone, allowing for controlled enzymatic breakdown of the polymer and steady release of an encapsulated drug. Identify the four monomers used to synthesize A; then use Figure 29.2 to name the two amino acids.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.
Novolac is the linear polymer which on heating with formaldehyde forms cross-linked bakelite. Write the structures of monomers and the polymer novolac.
1) Draw the structure for the polymer (repeat unit only) produced from the monomer vinylidene dichloride (CH₂=CCl₂). 2) One of the most common consumer plastics is PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is used extensively in containers for food and beverage products. Coca-Cola has recently come up with a biobased source of ethylene glycol for synthesizing this polymer, however, the terephthalic acid is still derived from petroleum sources. A sustainable source of terephthalic acid is therefore highly desired. One candidate is 2,5-furandioic acid. Draw the repeat unit for the resulting sustainable polyester derived from 2,5- furandioic acid and ethylene glycol.
