Thermal degradation of phosphorus esters derived from isosorbide and 10-undecenoic acid

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal degradation of a series of phosphorus esters derived from a diol generated by the esterification of isosorbide (from starch) with 10-undecenoic acid (from castor oil) followed by thiol-ene reaction with 2-hydroxyethanethiol has been examined using thermogravimetry and infrared spectroscopy.
