Latent initiators show no activity under normal conditions but release active species by external stimulation such as heating and photoirradiation to initiate polymerization. They have been widely applied to paints, inks, epoxy molding compounds, and photoresists. Several onium salts like sulfonium, pyridinium, phosphonium salts, 1 and diaryliodonium and triarylsulfonium salts2 have been developed as thermally latent initiators and/or photoinitiators. However, onium salts suffer low solubility in monomers and solvents, high cost, and residue of inorganic compounds in polymers, which causes toxicity and lowering of product properties such as insulation. Considerable efforts have been made to overcome these problems by developing non-salt-type initiators. 3 We have demonstrated that N-substituted phthalimides, 4 aminimides, 5 carboxylic acid esters, 6 and sulfonic acid esters7 serve as non-salttype latent initiators for epoxide polymerization. Recently, we have reported that phosphonic amide esters also serve as thermally latent anionic initiators in the polymerization of glycidy phenyl ether (GPE), wherein the active species is an amine released from the phosphonic amide esters by elimination of isobutene followed by successive reaction with GPE and formation of a cyclic amide ester releasing the amine (Scheme 1). 8 The key point of this initiator system is amide-ester exchange reaction releasing the amine by formation of a stable cyclic compound, although the nucleophilicity of the hydroxyl group is smaller than that of the amine. It may be expected that utilization of intramolecular reaction between amide and hydroxyl groups enables us to develop a new latent initiator. This paper communicates a novel simple thermally latent initiator system based on the thermal dissociation accompanying amide-ester exchange reaction. Hydroxylamides 1a and 1b were synthesized by the reaction of piperidine with γ-butyrolactone and phthalide at room temperature overnight according to a manner similar to the literature, respectively (Scheme 2). 9 They were obtained as a colorless oil (1a) and solid
