Abstract
Exploring the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) mechanism of benzoxazines is a fundamental issue in benzoxazine chemistry. Though some research papers on the topic have been reported, the ROP mechanism of mono-benzoxazines is still elusive. The key point for mechanistic studies is to determine and characterize the structure and formation pathways of the products generated in ROP. In this paper, the ROP of a vanillin-furfurylamine-based benzoxazine and a mono-azomethine derivative is studied with differential scanning calorimetry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, respectively. The results show that the products consist of a range of cationic species, zwitterions, fragments, and series of cyclic and linear oligomers of varying molecular sizes. It is proposed that both mono-benzoxazines undergo thermally activated cationic ring-opening oligomerization via zwitterion intermediates. Upon thermal induction, multi-bond-cleavage takes place to form various zwitterionic intermediates, which react with a monomer, a fragment, or a second zwitterion by several pathways to generate cyclic and linear oligomers.

Abstract
Reversible polycondensations exist involving intermolecular transesterification in the absence of back-biting, which may be understood as part of a so-called ‘polycondensation triangle’ based on the definition of three polycondensation classes.

Abstract
A new concept called ring-opening polymerization-polycondensation (ROPPOC) is presented and discussed. This synthetic strategy is based on the intermediate formation of chains having two end groups that can react with each other. The ROPPOC syntheses are subdivided into three groups according to the nature of the chain ends: two ionic end groups, one ionic and one covalent chain end, and a combination of two reactive covalent end groups may be involved, depending on the catalyst. The usefulness for the preparation of cyclic polymers is discussed with a review of numerous previously published examples. These examples concern the following classes of cyclic polymers: polypeptides, polyamides, and polyesters, including polycarbonates and cyclic polysiloxanes. It is demonstrated that the results of certain ROPPOC syntheses are in contradiction to the Jacobson-Stockmayer theory. Finally, the usefulness of ROPPOCs for the detection of polydisperse catenanes is discussed.

Abstract
Bicyclic isothioureas 1 and 2 mediate controlled ring opening polymerizations (ROP) of lactides in the absence of protic initiators to afford high molecular weight polylactides (PLA) with narrow polydispersities. The cyclic structure of the resulting PLA was determined by dilute solution viscosity measurement and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Compared to DBU initiator, isothioureas are more selective for producing cyclic PLA without appreciable linear contaminants. Mechanistic studies involving acyl amidinium support our hypothesis that DBU-initiated ZROP generates linear chains from a ketene aminal intermediate.

Abstract
The zwitterionic ring-opening polymerization of lactide initiated by N-heterocyclic carbenes generates cyclic polylactides with well-defined molecular weights between M(n) = 5000 and 30,000 g/mol with narrow polydispersities (M(w)/M(n) < or = 1.31). These zwitterionic polymerizations are extremely rapid (k(p) = 48.7 M(-1) s(-1)), but also exhibit exceptional control of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The unusual kinetic features of these zwitterionic polymerizations are illuminated with kinetic and mechanistic investigations, which implicate a mechanism that involves a slow initiation step (second order in [M]), a propagation step (first order in [M]) that is much faster than initiation (k(i) = 0.274 M(-2) s(-1)), cyclization (k(c) = 0.0575 s(-1)), and depropagation (k(d) = 0.208 s(-1)). Numerical and stochastic simulations of the kinetic data provide a kinetic rationale for the evolution of molecular weight with monomer conversion: the molecular weights increase with increasing monomer conversion, exhibit a nonzero intercept near 0% monomer conversion, and are relatively insensitive to the initial monomer-to-initiator ratio. The observed narrow molecular weight distributions are due to a high rate of propagation relative to cyclization and chain transfer. Kinetic simulations define the kinetic criteria under which the active zwitterions remain in solution; these simulations were substantiated by chain-extension experiments, which provide experimental evidence for chain extension of the zwitterions and reinitiation by the N-heterocyclic carbenes liberated upon macrocyclization. The kinetic model rationalizes some of the unique features of zwitterionic ring-opening polymerization and provides a useful mechanistic framework to optimize these polymerizations as a strategy to generate well-defined cyclic polyesters.
