Polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline was carried out using a trifunctional initiator, 2-perbromomethyl-2-oxazoline. The degree of polymerization (DP) of the resulting polymer was very close to the feed mole ratio of the monomer to initiator. The number-average molecular weight a, increased linearl

Abstract
This paper describes a new ring‐opening‐closing alternating copolymerization (ROCAC) of 2‐methyl‐2‐oxazoline (five‐membered cyclic imino ether, 1) with N‐methyldiacrylamide (2). The reaction of a 1 : 1 monomer feed ratio proceeded without any added catalyst to give an alternating copolymer 3 having two structural units formed by ring‐opening and ring‐closing (cyclization). The structure of copolymer 3 was determined by ^1^H, ^13^C NMR, and IR spectroscopies. The extent of cyclization was at most 65%. The copolymerization was reasonably explained by a mechanism of propagation via zwitterion intermediates.
