Abstract
In the Al(OiPr) 3 initiated polymerization of styrene oxide, a relatively high molecular weight, head-to-tail polymer is obtained with some oligomers. Study of the polymerization and model reactions of R(+)-styrene oxide initiated by Al(OiPr) 3 indicates that, unlike the case of anionic polymerization, the oxirane ring is opened exclusively at the α-position (cleavage of the CHO-bond), a process which is accompanied by inversion of the configuration of the tertiary carbon atom.
