There is a growing interest in recycling of post‐consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) waste for both environmental and economic reasons. PET in the form of disposable soft drink bottle waste was subjected to depolymerization via aminolysis using excess of 3‐amino‐1‐propanol under soxhlet by conventional heating as well as microwave irradiation using catalyst sodium acetate or potassium sulfate. The product obtained was characterized after purification by using melting point, IR spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and differential scanning calorimeter and was found to be bis‐(3‐hydroxy propyl) terephthalamide (BHPTA). The BHPTA thus obtained was subjected to cyclization reaction using thionyl chloride to obtain bis‐oxazin under conditions of ambient temperature. Bis‐oxazin has applications in polymer synthesis as a chain extender or a cross linking agent. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013
