Notes:
The anionic polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone (3) initiated with its potassium salt (1) (2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinylpotassium) and carbon dioxide was studied under optimal conditions. On the basis of a detailed experimental analysis, it is suggested to consider the investigated polymerization in the presence of gaseous CO2 as an accelerated non-activated polymerization. Alkali 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine carboxylate, which is formed in the system by reaction of CO2 with 1, probably does not take part directly in the polymerization process and excerts only a controlling role.
