    Notes: The anionic polymerization of β-propiolactone (βPL) in DMF initiated with CH3COO-K+ or CH3O-K+ has been found to proceed via the carboxylate ion as growing species. This is valid for all polymerization steps in the former system, starting from the first monomer addition, whereas in the latter CH3O-K+ was found to produce in the initiation reaction both alcoholate and carboxylate anions in almost equal properties. The alcoholate reproduces approximately half of itself in each subsequent step; thus, after a few addition steps all of the active species have become carboxylate ones. The anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactone (εCL), on the other hand, can only be induced by alcoholates and the growing species are alcoholate anions. Carboxylate anions, even with crowed cations, are inactive as initiators of εCL. These conclusions are based on NMR studies of the end-groups originating from the initiator and on UV-VIs studies of the reaction products of the active species with 2,4,6-trinitroanisole. The difference between the polymerizations of βPL and εCL are explained in terms of ring strain and conformation.
