Notes:
3,3-Bis(chloromethyl)oxacyclobutane may be polymerized in the presence of powerful electrophilic catalysts, e.g., boron trifluoride; minute traces of water are also necessary for polymerization to proceed. The resulting polyether, poly-3,3-bis(chloromethyl)-oxabutene, is an inert, highly crystalline and insoluble polymer, m.p. 180°, capable of forming oriented films and fibers. The high crystallinity and strong interchain forces are reflected by the complete inconsistency of solution viscosity values measured at 100°. The molecular weights could only be compared by determining melt viscosity values.
