Abstract
Vinylformamide (VFA) is cationically polymerized in various solvents at 273 K and reaction temperature by the following initiators: iodine, bis(4βmethoxyphenyl)βmethyl chloride/silica, triphenylmethyl chloride/silica, and trimethylsilyl triflate. In every case defined oligomers with narrow molecular weight distribution are obtained in moderate yield (20β50%). Acid hydrolysis of the obtained oligomers yields well defined oligovinylamine products. The cationic initiation mechanism of VFA is discussed in terms of the HSABβconceptHSAB: Hard and soft acids and bases.
