β-propiolactone is a common inactivator agent used in vaccines. Due to β-propiolactone carcinogenicity, complete hydrolysis of it is necessary to prevent cytotoxicity in mammalian cells. As a result, more attention should be paid to it at the clinic, and it is important to measure its trace amounts.

β-Propiolactone (BPL) is an organic compound widely used as an inactivating agent in vaccine development and production, for example for SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza viruses. Inactivation of pathogens by BPL is based on an irreversible alkylation of nucleic acids but also on acetylation and cross-linking between proteins, DNA or RNA. However, the protocols for BPL inactivation of viruses vary widely.

We report here the synthesis of poly(4-ketovalerolactone) () via ring-opening transesterification polymerization (ROTEP) of the monomer 4-ketovalerolactone (, two steps from levulinic acid). The polymerization of proceeds to high equilibrium monomer conversion (up to 96% in the melt) to give the semicrystalline polyketoester with low dispersity. displays glass transition temperatures of 7 °C and two melting temperatures at 132 and 148 °C.
