Summary
The mode of ring opening during methanolysis of syndiotactic methacrylic anhydride-methacrylic acid copolymers has been studied by statistical calculation, Monte Carlo Simulation,and H-NMR. Significant deviations from random ring opening are found, indicating that the nature of the monomer unit adjacent to the anhydride ring may exert an influence.
