18. The formation of the cyclic pentamer in the reaction of 3d can be interpreted in terms of a "backbiting" mechanism due to the small steric repulsion induced by the methyl groups. For an example of cyclodepolymerization of poly(ether sulfone)s by the backbiting mechanism, see: H. M. Colquhoun, D. F. Lewis, P. Hodge, A. Ben-Haida, D. J. Williams, and I. Baxter, Macromolecules, 35, 6875 (2002), and references cited therein.
