TLDR
In this paper, a review of the synthesis and polymerization of aliphatic cyclic carbonates of different size and type is presented. And the mechanisms of cationic, anionic, coordination and enzymatic polymerization are discussed for obtaining polymers with well-defined structures and oligomers with reactive pendant and end groups.About:Â

Enzymatic catalysis in nonaqueous solvents.
TL;DR: The rate enhancements afforded by chymotrypsin and subtilisin in the transesterification reaction in octane are of the order of 100 billion-fold; covalent modification of the active center of the enzymes by a site-specific reagent renders them catalytically inactive in organic solvents.
