摘要

Chiral polyester materials that integrate chemical recyclability with excellent performance have emerged as a prominent research focus. Notably, their thermal and mechanical properties are inherently correlated with polymer microstructures, where the construction of high tacticity particularly enables enhanced material performances. Asymmetric kinetic resolution polymerization (AKRP) is a powerful method for synthesizing stereoregular chiral polyesters. This approach has been conceptualized as utilizing chiral catalysts to selectively recognize and preferentially polymerize one enantiomer from a racemic monomer pool. In recent years, the AKRP scope has been expanded to incorporate the targeted recognition of specific substrate sites based on chiral discrimination. This review summarizes recent advances in AKRP of representative monomer systems, categorized by ring size, highlighting scientific breakthroughs in AKRP-derived strategies, catalyst innovations, mechanistic insights, and material properties.
