ABSTRACT Hyperbranched poly(ester)s with many pendant primary hydroxy groups were prepared in 21–84% yields by polyadditions of certain bis(oxetane)s such as

1,4-bis[(3-ethyl-3-oxetanylmethoxymethyl)]benzene (BEOB), 1,2-bis[(3-ethy-3-oxetanyl)methoxy]benzene (1,2-BEOMB), 1,3-bis[(3-ethy-3-oxetanyl)methoxy]benzene (1,3-BEOMB),

1,4-bis[(3-ethy-3-oxetanyl)methoxy]benzene (1,4-BEOMB), 4,4′-bis[(3-ethyl-3-oxetanyl)methoxy]biphenyl (4,4′-BEOBP), 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-[4,4′-bis(3-ethyl-3-oxetanyl)methoxy]biphenyl

(TM-BEOBP) with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (TMA) using tetraphenylphosphonium chloride (TPPC) as a catalyst in NMP at 140 °C for 12 h. Resulting polymers were insoluble in water;
