Ring-opening polymerization of 1,5-dioxepan-2-one initiated by 1,1,6,6tetra-n-butyl-1,6-distanna-2,5,7,10-tetraoxacyclodecane was carried out in chloroform, dichloromethane, or 1,2-dichloroethane. Effects of reaction temperature, solvent, and monomer-to-initiator ratio were investigated. Polymerizat

β¦ Synopsis
At moderate temperatures the dimeric 2,2-dibutyl-2-stanna-1,3-dioxolane (DSDOL) and the monomeric 2,2-dibutyl-2-stanna-1,3-dioxepane (DSDOP) add to equivalents of succinic anhydride by a clean insertion reaction into the Sn1O bonds. The resulting 30-and 17-membered macrocycles are stable up to temperatures around 115 8C and do not eliminate Bu 2 SnO in the contrast to literature reports. When succinic or glutaric acid were added to tin-containing macrocyclic poly(e-caprolactone) again no elimination of Bu 2 SnO was observed. After removal of the Bu 2 Sn groups under mild conditions telechelic poly(e-caprolactone)s with two carboxylic endgroups were isolated.
