The ABMDFP exhibited high activity on cycloaddition of CO2 and transesterification reaction of EC, which was also suitable for various substrates. A possible mechanism of ring-opening of epoxide and activation of CO2 was proposed.

The regioselective epoxide ring opening at less substituted carbon atom of epoxide were reported by nucleophiles like heterocyclic amines which gives well known 1,2-difunctionalized amino alcohols. These are present in many synthetic as well as natural products. The ring opening of epoxide is achieved by cleavage with amines in presence of copper(0) as a catalyst. It is observed that the lithium napthalenide reduction of copper(I) produces a highly reactive form of copper(0) that acts as a catalyst for ring opening of epoxides with an amine.

Asymmetric ring-opening reactions of meso-epoxides by aromatic amines were achieved by using some chiral metal–organic frameworks. The corresponding β-amino alcohols were obtained with good yields and enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).

Sn(Oct)2-catalyzed ring-opening copolymerization of D,L-lactide and e-caprolactone in bulk at 130 °C at different D,L-lactide/e-caprolactone has been studied. It was shown that independent on the initial comonomers ratio, the synthesized copolymers are enriched by D,L-lactide at the early stage of reaction indicating the formation of gradient-like copolymer. However, the intensive transesterification reaction both during the polymerization and at the monomer-starved conditions leads to the redistribution of the monomer sequences and formation of the random copolymer. The synthesized copolymers are characterized by high polydispersity (Đ > 2.0), which raises when the reaction mixture was kept under monomer-starved conditions that confirms the occurrence of transesterification. The formation of random copolymer is confirmed by single Tg value, which gradually increased with the increase of the amount of D,L-lactide in the copolymer from –48.6 °C to 33.3 °C for D,L-lactide/e-caprolactone ratio in copolymer of 20:80 and 90:10 mol/mol, respectively.

Lutetium and yttrium complexes supported by an anilido-oxazoline ligand exhibit high cis-1,4 stereoselectivity for 1,3-conjugated diene polymerization and high activity for ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone.
