Two initiators containing a cleavable ester bond were compared in the lipase-catalyzed ROP of CL and PDL. The results show that transesterification reactions are present at high rates throughout the enzymatic ROP and start at low conversion. HEA and HEMA displayed similar reaction efficiencies as initiators (acyl acceptors) in the enzymatic ROP. However, transacylation reactions on the HEA-initiated polyesters were found to be 15 times faster. While in both cases the amount of HEA- and HEMA-initiated polymers could be maximized by short reaction times, a well-defined (meth)acrylation by this approach was not possible. Our results show that transesterification reactions have to be considered when performing an enzyme-catalyzed ROP.
