Abstract
AbstractThe application of stopped‐flow FT‐IR spectroscopy to group transfer polymerization (GTP) and cyclic oligomeric carbonate formation is described. The influence of catalyst structure, propagating end stereochemistry and degree of polymerization (DP) on the rate of monomer addition was examined for GTP. Also, the major GTP termination process was identified and characterized. Model reactions were used to study the kinetics of acyl ammonium salt formation and subsequent conversion to urethane. These results were used to further develop the mechanism of bisphenol A‐bischloroformate macrocyclization.
