Summary: A rapid and eco‐friendly synthesis of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) using microwaves was developed in the presence of 1,3‐dichloro‐1,1,3,3‐tetrabutyldistannoxane as catalyst. To determine the optimum conditions, the effect of catalyst concentration, bulk vs. solution polymerization, reaction time, temperature, and stoichiometry of the monomers were studied. Based on the optimum conditions, PBS with a weight‐average molecular weight of 2.35 × 10 4 was obtained in a short time of 20 min.
