© 2016 Elsevier B.V. Four aluminum (III) trialkoxides, namely, Al(III) ethoxide (1), Al(III) isopropoxide (2), Al(III) tert-butoxide (3), and Al(III) sec.-butoxide (4), have been evaluated their efficiency as initiators for bulk ring-opening polymerizations (ROP) of some lactones (γ-butyrolactone (G...
