Notes:
A new synthesis for the polycondensation of oxalic acid and glycerol was used. Polycondensation was carried out in the presence of compounds that do not dissolve oxalic acid and glycerol, but form an azeotropic mixture with water below 100°C. Anhydrous oxalic acid and oxalic acid dihydrate was used for the synthesis of oligoesters. The decarboxylation proceeds parallel with polycondensation of oxalic acid and glycerol was investigated. Decarboxylation of carboxyl groups of glycerol monooxalate was found to be accelerated by the arrangement of primary and secondary hydroxyl groups in the glycerol molecule in the 1,2 position.
