An interconversion of oxazoline‐amido‐phenolate aluminium complexes: Structural, catalytic activity and density functional theory studies.

This paper describes a new mutual transformation mode occurred between two aluminium complexes, L1(AlMe2)2·AlMe3 and (L1AlMe)2, which were generated upon different solvents and bearing the oxazoline‐amido‐phenolate ligand. Density functional theory (DFT) studies support plausible mechanisms. Their catalytic studies were investigated towards ring opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone and l‐lactide with the benzyl alcohol as the initiating reagent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
