Abstract
The anionic polymerization of methylidene malonate 2.1.2. is able to yield four different molecule types. The major product obtained at pH 5.5 corresponds to a trisubstituted cyclohexanone formed by a back-biting reaction. A mixture of four diastereoisomer couples due to the presence of three asymmetric carbon atoms was produced in the same proportion. These results were deduced from mass spectrometry (MS), liquid chromatography–MS (LC-MS) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigations.
