## Abstract The cobaltβcatalyzed alternating copolymerization of epoxides and CO is a novel, direct approach to aliphatic polyesters, such as poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). This reaction was found to be catalyzed by Ph~3~Si[Co(CO)~4~] (4) and pyridine affording in a first step the stable monoβinserti
