Abstract The first effective organopolymerization of the biorenewable “non‐polymerizable” γ‐butyrolactone (γ‐BL) to a high‐molecular‐weight metal‐free recyclable polyester is reported. The superbase tert ‐Bu‐P 4 is found to directly initiate this polymerization through deprotonation of γ‐BL to generate reactive enolat…
