Multifunctional aliphatic poly(carbonate)s with varied number of hydroxyl groups were prepared by the combination of glycidyl ether chemistry with CO2. For example the fundamental poly(1,2-glycerol carbonate) structure was obtained by combination of glycidyl ether chemistry with CO2 via two different approaches. The polymer was obtained by a two-step procedure from copolymerization of ethoxy ethyl glycidyl ether (EEGE) or benzyl glycidyl ether (BGE) with CO2, followed by removal of the respective protecting groups either through acidic cleavage or hydrogenation.
