Abstract: The polymerization of theasaponins and propylene oxide catalyzed by double metal cyanide complex was described by the authors. Via ring-opening polymerization, a new polyetherified derivative of theasaponins which has perfect lipophilicity was obtained and the mechanism of polymerization was discussed. The structure of polyether was analyzed and characterized by FTIR and NMR. Results showed that head-tail addition and atactic structure were dominant in polyether microstructure.

Key words: theasaponins, double metal cyanide complex, DMC, mechanism
