title: One-pot atom-efficient synthesis of bio-renewable polyesters and cyclic carbonates through tandem catalysis.
abstract: One-pot synthesis of well-defined bio-renewable polyesters and cyclic carbonates in high yields was successfully realized for the first time by way of a tandem reaction using metal salen complexes as catalysts. This tandem process offered unprecedented opportunities for the atom-efficient production of two relevant compounds.
