Abstract Catalytic functionalization/polymerization of castor oil‐derived undecenol yields an aliphatic polyester in a single step under mild conditions. The key to selective formation of linear high melting polyester is highly active carbonylation catalysts that at the same time do not undergo strong isomerization.
