It was shown that selected sodium phenoxide derivatives with different basicity and nucleophilicity, such as sodium p-nitrophenoxide, p-chlorophenoxide, 1-napthoxide, phenoxide and p-methoxyphenoxide, are effective initiators in anionic ring-opening polymerization (AROP) of β-butyrolactone in mild conditions. It was found that phenoxides as initiators in anionic ring-opening polymerization of β-butyrolactone behave as strong nucleophiles, or weak nucleophiles, as well as Brønsted bases. The resulting polyesters possessing hydroxy, phenoxy and crotonate initial groups are formed respectively by the attack of phenoxide anion at (i) C2 followed by an elimination reaction with hydroxide formation, (ii) C4 and (iii) abstraction of acidic proton at C3. The obtained poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) possesses carboxylate growing species. The ratio of the observed initial groups strongly depends on the basicity and nucleophilicity of the sodium phenoxide derivative used as initiator. The proposed mechanism of this polymerization describes the reactions leading to formation of observed end groups. Moreover, the possibility of formation of a crotonate group during the propagation step of this polymerization is also discussed.

Ring-opening homo- and co-polymerization reactions of ϵ-caprolactone were performed by employing anionic polymerization (high vacuum techniques) and lithium silanolates (LS) as initiators. LS were obtained by reaction between hexamethyl(cyclotrisiloxane) and sec-Bu–Li+, or from living poly(dimethylsiloxanyl)lithium chains. The results indicated that LS are efficient initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of ϵ-caprolactone, providing the respective homogeneous polymers in good yields.
