• Monosaccharides
• myo-Inositol
• Cyclic Structures
• High Performance Polymers

The target of the studies described herein is the development of high performance polymers from monosaccharides and myo-inositol. These naturally occurring cyclic polyols were functionalized via chemo(-) and regioselective reactions such as N-glycosilation, ketalization, and orthoesterification. The resulting derivatives bearing rigid cyclic structures and reactive groups were found to be useful monomers for synthesizing polymers with rigid cyclic structures in the main chains. The resulting polymers exhibited excellent heat resistance, proving the feasibility of our concept that the utilization of monosaccharides and myo-inositol as starting materials for polymer synthesis would emerge as a useful approach to high performance polymers.
