Abstract: The anionic polymerization of pentadecanolide (1-oxa-2-cyclohexadecanone) initiated with potassium alkoxides was investigated. Polymerization proceeds under mild conditions (tetrahydrofuran, 35 degrees C) to form high-molecular-weight polymer (number-average molecular weight (M) over bar(n) up to 100000). The formation of cyclic oligomers, via back-biting reaction, was demonstrated by means of gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) and matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) analyses.
