Notes:
The dominant products from the polymerization of butene-2 in CH2Cl2 at -25°C with BF3CH3OH as catalyst are C10, C12, and C14 olefins. Formed in lesser amounts are C9 and C13 olefins but C5-7 and C11 olefins have not been detected. The few products so far identified retain the basic butene-2 structure suggesting that the anomalous products may not be formed in a typical carbonium-ion-type rearrangement reaction but perhaps arise in a fission process associated with the propagation and/or transfer steps in the polymerization. With propylene as monomer the normal oligomers are by far the most important products, but all fission products can be detected.
