Abstract
AbstractThe ring-opening polymerization of 1-β-cyanoethyl azetidine was investigated in bulk and in solution. The bulk polymerization of 1-β-cyanoethylazetidine proceeded with cationic initiators such as methyl tosylate and 3-hydroxy-1-propane sulfonic acid sultone at 60°C, and a white powdery polymer was obtained. In the solution polymerization, the polymerization rate was found to be fast in high polar solvents such as acetonitrile, and an almost quantitative yield was obtained after about 24 hr at 40°C. The structure of the polymer obtained was confirmed by IR and NMR spectra, and was established as follows:
