Summary
Polymerization of p-chlorophenyl glycidyl ether initiated by potassium glycolates (ethylene, propylene and 2-methyl propylene glycolatea) in DMSO containing some 18-crown-6 ether or glycol was investigated. For the reaction system containing the propylene glycolate asymmetrically substituted with a methyl group, relatively high polymerization rates were obtained as compared with those found for the other systems studied, the resultant polymers also having higher molecular weights and comparatively low polydispersities. Aliphatic double bonds were found to be absent in the polymers synthesized, which would suggest that in the anionic polymerization process studied the growing chain is not transferred to the monomer.
