Temperature-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)/ poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl-4-yl methacrylate) (PTMA) copolymer are
synthesiszed by radical polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization. The catalytic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones using the NIPAM/PTMA copolymer as a catalyst was investigated. The copolymer were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. The results of temperature-dependent UV/Vis absorption show that the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) is around 32-42 ¢J as the molecular percentage of PTMA is 0-6%. When the molecular percentage of PTMA is high than 6%, the LCST is not observed. The yield of the catalytic oxidation using the PNIPAM/PTMA copolymer as a catalyst is high than 99% within 30 min. The temperature-responsive PNIPAM/PTMA copolymer can be precipitated and purified by increasing temperature of the reaction solution higher than the LCST.
