Table 3. Cyclohexene oxide/CO2 copolymerizations with Chain Transfer Agents (CTA) a .

Entry Catalyst CTA (eq.) CO2 b (%) Polymer b (%) TON b TOF (h–1) b M n [Ð] b
1 2c None >99 >99 634 106 7000 [1.04]

aReactions were run using a catalyst : CHO molar ratio of 1 : 1000 at 80 °C under 1 bar pressure of CO2 for 6 hours.

bSee Table 1 and ESI for all data (Fig. S61–S64).

cCHD = 1,2-cyclohexanediol.

dCatalyst and CHO were stirred in air for 1 h at 25 °C before purging the system with CO2 and heating to 80 °C.
