Presence of active functional groups on polymer chain is a suitable aspect of polymer structure which allows performing next favourite reactions on polymer molecule. In this research a novel aromatic derivative of cis-but-2-endiol was synthesized as monomer. The synthesized monomer was polymerized using diphenyl carbonate and 1,4-butandiol as second and third monomer along with organotin catalyst. Polymerization reaction performed by using melt-phase transesterification process to produce a new terpolymer of polycarbonate. During the reaction the double bonds are preserved on polymer chain and epoxidized by m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCBPA) in good yield to demonstrate the reactivity and possibility of performing further reactions on double bonds of polymer
