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 tri

β¦ Synopsis
Cationic polymerization of a seven-membered cyclic sulfite ( 7CS) was carried out with methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a catalyst in chlorobenzene. The final conversions of 7CS were 22, 41, 52, and 60% in the polymerizations at 25ΠC with the initial monomer concentrations of 3, 4, 5, and 6 M, respectively. The calculated monomer concentration at equilibrium was evaluated as 2.4M in any case. The conversion of 7CS decreased as the polymerization temperature rose. These results support the fact that this polymerization is an equilibrium one. DH 0 and DS 0 in the polymerization were evaliuated as 00.765 kcal/mol and 04.18 cal/mol by Dainton's equation, respectively.

Ab initio calculations, in the frame of MO theory, were carried out on both most stable (chair) conformers of trimethylene cyclic sulfite. Optimized geometries derived at the HF/6-31G\* level reveal that both conformers possess a rigid chair conformation with the S=O group located either axially (co
