Abstract

Novel polycarbonates containing tertiary or secondary benzylic diol structures are prepared via their biscarbonylimidazolide derivatives under phase transfer conditions; these polycarbonates are designed to undergo a near instantaneous depolymerization to volatile monomeric species when heated to a critical temperature.
