Abstract

Abstract Reactions between poly(oxymethylene)glycol (POMG) in aqueous solution and methanol or ethanol were studied by liquid ionization mass spectrometry. Hemiformalization of POMG occurred soon after methanol addition to form monomethylethers of POMG and completed within 15 min. While hemiformalization by ethanol addition occurred slowly and it took time, about 30 min, before producing monoethylethers of POMG.
