122. [58b] In our case, rigorous exclusion of oxygen slowed down the reaction substantially. The same finding has been reported previously: C. O. Dietrich-Buchecker, A. Khemiss, J.-P. Sauvage, Chem. Commun. 1986, 1376-1378.

124. [60a] When DMAP is used for the corresponding reaction of 14b with 12b(H), the carbonates 17a and 20a are formed in considerable amounts (ca. 15% each) in addition to the targeted carbonates 15a. In contrast to this finding, in the reaction of sodium phenolates 12a(Na) and chloroformates 14a, the extent of such scrambling of the phenol substituents is very small (< 3%, estimated from NMR spectra).
125. [60b] Preparing the model carbonates 6 through the reaction of phenol with triphosgene in the presence of DMAP resulted in a low conversion (see ref.[51]). In contrast, was obtained a high conversion when starting the carbonate synthesis from preformed chloroformates 14a and letting them react with the substituted phenol 12a(H) in the presence of DMAP.

153. The signals of the olefinic unit appear well-separated from the signals of the other parts of the molecule. In the case of the polyester formations described, the signals of the end groups are comparatively difficult to detect because they are close to the signals of both the product and the potential by-products.
