Insight into the Alcohol-Free Ring-Opening Polymerization of TMC Catalyzed by TBD

We report herein a study on the alcohol-free, ring-opening polymerization of trimethylene carbonate (TMC) in THF, catalyzed by 1,5,7-triazabicyclo [4.4.0] ec-5-ene (TBD) with ratios n<sub>TBD</sub>/n<sub>TMC</sub> ranging between 1/20 and 1/400. In all cases, the reaction pro...
