Abstract
The modification of polyisoprene by treatment with strong acid dates, in the case of natural rubber, to at least the late 18th century.1 It has been accepted for some time now that the resinification and loss of unsaturation accompanying such treatment are due, in most instances, to acid-catalyzed cyclization. The earlier work on such cyclization has been reviewed thoroughly1–6 and only a brief overview of the main aspects will be given here.
