Abstract
3-Chlorooxetane was prepared in 12% overall yield from epichlorohydrin. Treatment of the neat monomer with a 1 : 1 :0.5 mixture of triethylaluminum, acetylacetone and water afforded poly(3-chlorooxetane) as a resilient elastomer of high molecular weight. The glass transition temperature of poly(3-chlorooxetane) was determined to be - 23°C. The polymer is stable with respect to repeating unit isomerization to its structural isomer, polyepichlorohydrin.
