the synthesis of novel polycarbonateAbstract: aliphatic polycarbonate is biodegradable, it has attracted more and more attention in medical fields owing to its surface corrosible degradative mechanism and good biological compatibility as biological material. The cyclic carbonate monomer 5,5- di-methoxy carbonyl -1,3-dioxane -2- ketone is synthetised by the reaction of 2,2- dihydroxy methyl malonic acid dimethyl ester with chloroformate ethyl ester,catalysted by stannous octoate .The new polycarbonate is achieved though bulk ring-opening polymerization at different temperatures. The structure of monomer and polymer is characterizd by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR Spectra. The results show that the yield of ring opening polymerization reaction and molecular weight increase with temperature, but the ring-openingdecarboxylation reaction will certainly occur when temperature is higher than 100℃. It is concluded that the suitableconditions for the polymerization reaction are: reaction temperature 90 ℃, reaction time 12h, thus decarboxylation reaction hardly occurs in the the polymerizating process .Keywords: hex-cyclic carbonate; ring-opening polymerization; polycarbonate
