Abstract

Macrocyclic polyester oligomer compositions comprising alkylene isophthalate or terephthalate units or the like are prepared by the reaction of a diol with a diacid chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of at least one amine characterized by substantially no steric hindrance around the basic nitrogen atom, and an acid accepting amount of at least one other tertiary amine such as triethylamine. The reaction is conducted under substantially anhydrous conditions.
