Notes:
A series of primary and secondary diols carrying nitroalkyl, nitro, and fluoro substituents was reacted with formaldehyde under conditions of acid catalysis. Short-chain primary diols gave cyclic formals while predominantly linear polymers were obtained beginning with pentane-1,5-diols and hexane-1,6-diols, depending upon the nature of the substituents. No polymers were formed from secondary diols with 1-nitroalkyl substituents. The effect of monomer structure on polymer formation is discussed. The polymers obtained were characterized by GPC and end group analysis.
