A method of preparing a cyclic monomer, comprising:forming a first mixture comprising a precursor compound, bis(pentafluorophenyl) carbonate, and a catalyst; wherein the precursor compound has a structure comprising a) two or more carbons, and b) two functional groups selected from the group consisting of primary amine, secondary amine, thiol group, hydroxyl group, and combinations thereof, andagitating the first mixture at a temperature effective to form a second mixture comprising the cyclic monomer, the cyclic monomer selected from the group consisting of a cyclic carbonate, a cyclic carbamate, a cyclic urea, a cyclic thiocarbonate, a cyclic thiocarbamate, and a cyclic dithiocarbonate.

Description
Cyclic polycarbonate (or thiol analog) oligomer mixtures are prepared by the reaction of bishaloformates or their thio analogs or mixtures thereof with dihydroxy or dimercapto compounds, with alkaili metal hydroxides and various amines. The oligomer mixtures may be converted to polycarbonates or their thiol analogs by a method which is particularly adaptable to integration with polycarbonate processing operations.
