Synthesis and conformational analysis of novel polymeric ligands based on myo-inositol

Abstract

Synthesis of novel polymeric ligands based on myo-inositol was performed. Cyclopolymerization, whose mechanism and the cyclic structure were proved, was first attempted to build a conformationally rigid inositol polymer. Comparative spectroscopic methods were introduced to verify the conformation of the prepared cyclohexane polymers. A conformationally rigid polymeric ligand was successfully prepared using myo-inositol carbonate.
