Abstract
The polymerization of butoxymethyl-, ethyl-, methyl-, phenoxymethyl-, phenyl- and 2-propen-1-yloxymethyloxirane in the presence of potassium hydride suspension in tetrahydrofuran with 18-crown-6 was studied. The influence of polar and steric effects of substituent on the reaction rate is described. The appropriate correlation equation is derived. The chain transfer reaction to the monomer, found to occur only in the polymerization of methyloxirane, results in lower molecular weight and higher polydispersity of poly(methyloxirane) as compared with other polymers obtained.
