  Abstract

The tetrahydrofuran-3,4-diol (THF-diol) monomer was synthesized from erythritol biomass, and its potential for use in polyesters was investigated through a simple copolymerization with hexanediol and succinic acid. THF-diol monomer could be synthesized in one step from the inexpensive meso-erythritol, offering significant advantages in terms of cost and synthetic simplicity. However, the two hydroxyl groups are positioned too closely, leading to steric hindrance during polymerization and preventing effective polymerization. Despite this, the glass transition temperature gradually improved due to the increase in bulky cyclic ring groups within the polymer backbone, and the thermal stability remained sufficiently high. Polyesters containing THF-diol can be easily adjusted in terms of their physical and thermal properties, suggesting great potential in polymer synthesis.
