β¦ Synopsis
This article deals with the polymerization of the cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane (2), 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane (3), 4,7-dimethyl-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane (4), 2-ethylidene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane (5), 2-phenylmethylene-1,3-dioxolane (6), and 2-isopropylidene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane (7) in the presence of cyanoallene (1). For 2 and 3, the homopolymerization of the CKAs proceeded without ring opening, and the number-average molecular weights of the obtained polymers depended on the feed ratio of 1. However, the reactions of 1 with 4-7 afforded no polymers but did afford spirocyclic 1 : 1 adducts possessing cyclobutane rings.

The relationship between the relative reactivities of ten cyclic ketene acetals and their structures was determined via cationic copolymerizations of eight different monomer pairs. Thus, 2-methylene-1,3-dioxolane (1) was copolymerized with 2-methylene-4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (2), 2-methylene-4,5-dime
Pure 1,2-addition polymers, poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxolane), 1b, poly(2methylene-1,3-dioxane), 2b, and poly(2-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane), 3b, were prepared using the cationic initiators H 2 SO 4 , TiCl 4 , BF 3 , and also Ru(PPh 3 ) 3 Cl 2 .
