Borinic acid catalysis is used as a tool for the synthesis of carbohydrate-derived polymers of
biomedical interest. Polyols possessing 3 or 4 hydroxyl groups are subjected to site …

A new class of sugar-derived polyesters has been synthesized, using organoboron-
catalyzed acylation to generate linear macromolecules having pyranoside units enchained …

Reversible covalent interactions of organoboron compounds are exploited as the basis for
regioselective borinic acid-catalyzed acylations of polyols. This catalytic protocol enables …

Conspectus An Account of the development of organoboron-catalyzed methods for chemo-
or regioselective activation of pyruvic acids, diols, and carbohydrate derivatives is …

Boron-functionalized polymers are used in opto-electronics, biology, and medicine. Methods
to produce boron-functionalized and degradable polyesters remain exceedingly rare but …

Boron-containing organic compounds have found widespread use in synthetic organic
chemistry. More recently, boronic acid-containing polymers have proven valuable in a …

The central theme of the research described in this thesis involves taking advantage of the
reversible covalent interactions of organoboron species with diols, and exploiting them as …

Organoboron polymers play important roles in biomedical applications. An ample number of
monomers bearing boronic acid derivatives have been synthesized, particularly focusing on …

This review summarizes the some advances and results of our recent investigations,
outlining the synthesis, structural phenomena, unique properties and application areas of …

Ring-opening polymerization affords an efficient strategy to convert β-butyrolactone into poly
(β-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) which is a promising and widely used biodegradable polyester …
