Synthesis of high molecular weight poly(isosorbide succinate) with an aryl alcohol

Caption

Synthesis of high molecular weight poly(isosorbide succinate) with an aryl alcohol. a: Monomer synthesis from glucose, obtainable from either first or second generation biomass. b: Synthesis of poly(isosorbide succinate) from succinic acid, isosorbide and p-cresol. c: Poly(isosorbide succinate) molecular weights obtained with a reactive solvent (p-cresol), no solvent and an unreactive solvent (1,4-dimethoxybenzene) under comparable reaction conditions
