One-Pot Synthesis and Postpolymerization Functionalization of Cyclic Carbonate/Epoxide-Difunctional Polycarbonates Prepared by Regioselective Diepoxide/CO2 Copolymerization Polym Chem DOI: 10.1039/C6PY00563B

   Novel aliphatic polycarbonates with tunable number of cyclic carbonate and epoxide dual functional groups have been synthesized via a (ONSO)CrCl-mediated copolymerization of 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene diepoxide with carbon dioxide in one pot. The resulting difunctional polycarbonates with high Tg afford a versatile platform for the postpolymerization functionalization.
