The ring‐opening polymerizations (ROPs) of ε‐caprolactone (ε‐CL) and δ‐valerolactone (δ‐VL) with pentafluorophenylbis(triflyl)methane (C6F5CHTf2) as the organocatalyst and alcohol initiators were carried out. For the ROP using 3‐phenyl‐1‐propanol (PPA) as the initiator in CH2Cl2at room temperature with the [ε‐CL or δ‐VL]0/[PPA]0/[C6F5CHTf2] ratio of 50/1/0.1, the polymerization homogeneously proceeded to afford poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(δ‐valerolactone) (PVL) having narrow polydispersity indices. The molecular weights of the obtained polymers determined from1H NMR spectra showed good agreement with those estimated from the initial ratio of [ε‐CL or δ‐VL]0/[PPA]0and monomer conversions. The1H NMR, size exclusion chromatography, and matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry measurements strongly indicated that PCL and PVL possessed the 3‐phenylpropoxy group as the α‐chain‐end and the hydroxy group as the ω‐chain‐end. In addition, the controlled/living nature for the C6F5CHTf2‐catalyzed ROP of lactones was confirmed by kinetic and chain‐extension experiments. The block copolymerization of PCL and PVL successfully proceeded to afford PCL‐b‐PVL and PVL‐b‐PCL. In addition, various end‐functionalized PCLs and PVLs with narrow molecular weight distributions were synthesized by the ROP of ε‐CL and δ‐VL using functional initiators, such as 6‐azido‐1‐hexanol, 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate, propargyl alcohol,N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)maleimide, 4‐vinylbenzyl alcohol, 5‐hexen‐1‐ol, and 5‐norbornene‐2‐methanol. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
