Summary
-
1.
The copolymerization of 2-methyloxetane with tetrahydrofuran and with epichlorohydrin when subjected to the action of the cationic catalysts BF3·O(C2H5)2, BF3·O(CH2)4 together with glycols, Al(C2H5)3 and SnCl4 has been studied.
-
2.
Copolymers of 2-methyloxetane with tetrahydrofuran having terminal hydroxide groups were obtained.
-
3.
2-Methyloxetane exhibits a higher relative activity in the copolymerization reaction than does tetrahydrofuran or epichlorohydrin.
