✦ Synopsis
BF 3 rOEt 2 -initiated polymerizations of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane gave polymers composed of both ring-retained and ring-opened structures. The ring-opening content increased with an increase in polymerization temperature. Poly(4,7-dimethyl-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane) propagated slower during BF 3 rOEt 2 -initiated polymerization and had a lower ring-opened content than poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane). The type of acid initiator used also affected the amount of ring opening observed. Stronger acids gave less ring opening. Attempted BF 3 rOEt 2 -initiated copolymerizations of these seven-membered ring cyclic ketene acetals with isobutyl vinyl ether at room temperature resulted in formation of the two homopolymers.

Cationic polymerization of 1,3-dioxepane (DOP) initiated by triflic acid was carried out in the presence of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)butanol (BHMB). The structure and molecular weight of the products were characterized by GPC and NMR spectra. The results showed that molecular weight of the polyacetal o
Poly (1,3-dioxepane) [PDOP] triol was prepared by cationic ring-opening polymerization with [C 2 H 5 C(CH 2 OCH 2 CH 2 CO ϩ ClO 4 Ϫ ) 3 ], trioxocarbenium perchlorate, as an initiator. The structures of the PDOP triols obtained were verified by 1 H-NMR, FTIR, and GPC results. Initiation, propagation
