Abstract
Production of polyalkylene carbonates via polymerization of carbon dioxide with at least one epoxide of the general formula (I):
where R re mutually independently H, halogen, NO2, CN, COOR′ or C1-20-hydrocarbon moiety, which can have substitution, where one of the moieties R can also be OH, and where two moieties R can together form a C3-5-alkylene moiety, R′ is H or C1-20-hydrocarbon moiety, which can have substitution; n a zinc salt of C4-8-alkanedicarboxylic acids as catalysts, where a carboxylic acid or an acidic ion exchanger and a non-water-miscible organic solvent which dissolves the polyalkylene carbonate are admixed with the reaction mixture obtained after the reaction, and the organic phase is washed with water, and the polyalkylene carbonate is optionally obtained from the organic phase.
