Abstract
Polybenzopinacols resulting from the photocondensations of p,p′‐dibenzoyldiphenyl ether, p,p′‐dibenzoyldiphenylmethane, and p,p′‐dibenzoyl‐1,2‐diphenylethane were rearranged in sulfuric acid–dioxane solutions. The inherent viscosities of the polybenzopinacolones did not differ significantly from the inherent viscosities of the polybenzopinacols after rearrangement. A model compound study by NMR and infrared methods indicated that the polymer chain was probably the main migrating group for each of the polymer rearrangements.
