Reaction Steps

The procedure described in Example 1 is substantially reproduced by reacting 114.14 gm (1.0 mole) of ε-caprolactone with 116.07 gm (1.0 mole) of glycolide. A weigh loss of 0.6% is observed upon devolatilization. The I.V. of the copolymer is 1.92 dl/g in HFIP and PCL/PGA molar ratio of 49.5/50.5 by NMR.
