Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention is a preparation method for a polyester, relating to the technical field of organic catalysis and polymeric materials. The preparation method in the present invention comprises: (1) using pyridine and saccharin in a ratio of 1:1 to prepare pyridine saccharin salt in tetrahydrofuran at 60° C. and separating the pyridine saccharin salt out in methanol and hexane. (2) Freeing out a small amount of pyridine from the pyridine saccharin salt in a heating state, catalyzing by the pyridine saccharin salt and pyridine a cyclic lactone or a carbonate to be ring-opened and polymerized to form the polyester; and the system has no other compound residues. (3) In the presence of an alcohol initiator, catalyzing by the pyridine saccharin salt the cyclic lactone to be ring-opened and polymerized to obtain the polyester. The catalytic system can efficiently synthesize a specific polylactone. Compared with a method for synthesizing a polyester by the use of a metal-containing catalyst in the prior art, the system has wide application. Moreover, the system is advantageous of no metal residue, narrow molecular weight distribution and no chain transesterification, and…
