Notes:
The direction of the oxirane ring opening in the polymerization of styrene oxide by sodium methoxide was determined on the basis of the structure of the products obtained. The oxirane ring opening was found to occur almost exclusively in β-position. This result was compared with a model reaction, i.e. the methanol addition to styrene oxide in the presence of sodium methoxide. In the model reaction the oxirane ring opening occurred to ca. 35% in α-position and to ca. 65% in β-position.
