The successful activation observed when using Bu t P 4 phosphazene base and thiophenol or bisthiols for the anionic ring opening polymerization (ROP) of di‐ n ‐propyl cyclopropane‐1,1‐dicarboxylate is described. Well‐defined monofunctional or difunctional polymers with a very narrow molecular weight distribution were obtained through a living process. Quantitative end‐capping of the propagating malonate carbanion was accessible by using either an electrophilic reagent such as allyl bromide or a strong acid such as HCl. Kinetics studies demonstrated a much higher reactivity compared to the conventional route using alkali metal thiophenolates.
