Summary

This paper describes the so-called “No Catalyst Copolymerization” between dioxo-1,1-thiazetidine-1,2(Ethanesultam; ESm) and 2-methyl-2-oxazoline. The copolymerization took place without any added initiator to produce copolymers of MeOZO and ESm. The structure of the copolymer was determined by the IR and NMR spectra, elemental analysis, as well as by the result of an alkaline hydrolysis of the copolymer. The reaction scheme of the copolymerization via zwitterion mechanism (Eq 3–5) was proposed.
