ADMET depolymerization is a viable route in the formation of tailored‐molecular‐weight polybutadiene telechelics. The bulk depolymerization requirement is met by initially forming macrocyclic butadiene, thereby decreasing the amount of macrocyclic formation. This synthetic scheme is capable of generating well‐defined, tailored‐molecular‐weight polybutadiene telechelics ( M̄ n = 2600).
