β¦ Synopsis
Cationic ring-opening polymerization behavior of a seven-membered cyclic sulfite ( 1) was examined. 1 was prepared by the reaction of 1,4-butanediol with SOCl 2 in 58% yield. The cationic polymerization of 1 was carried out at 0, 25, 60, or 100ΠC with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH), methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TfOMe), BF 3 rOEt 2 , SnCl 4 , methyl p-toluenesulfonate (TsOMe), or MeI as an initiator in bulk under a nitrogen atmosphere to afford the polymer with M V n 1000-10,400. The order of activities of the initiators for 1 was as follows, TfOH Γ TfOMe ΓΊ SnCl 4 ΓΊ BF 3 rOEt 2 ΓΊ TsOMe Γ MeI. The polymerization of 1 with TfOMe afforded a poly(sulfite) below 25ΠC, but afforded a polymer containing an ether unit at 60ΠC, which was formed by a desulfoxylation. The higher the activity of the initiator was, the more easily the desulfoxylation occurred. We expected volume expansion on polymerization because cyclic sulfites have large dipole moment values, but it turned out that 1 showed 4.34% shrinkage on polymerization.
