Abstract

Hydroxy-telechelating oligomers of number average molecular weight 250 to 2,500 and containing carbonate groups, are prepared by first polycondensing a bis-chloroformate with a diol at a temperature below 150.degree.C and at a moderately reduced pressure while flushing the reaction mixture with an inert anhydrous gas, and then the oligomers formed are dissolved in a volatile, water-immiscible organic solvent and the solution washed with an aqueous base solution. In this way, oligomers may be prepared which have a low or zero sensitivity to water, are non-acidic and relatively inexpensive.
