In order to extend the study of free radical ring-opening polymerization to include diverse structures and to determine the scope of the reactions, two cyclic ketene acetals, cis-and trans-4, 7-di-methyl-2-methylene-l, 3-dioxepane (3) and 5, 6-benzo-2-methylene-l, 3-dioxepane (5), were prepared by de-hydrohalogenation. Free radical polymerizations of both monomers 3 and 5 were shown to proceed at 120 C with essentially quantitative ring opening to produce the corresponding polyesters. Similarly, both monomers 3 and 5 were shown to copolymerize readily with styreneand methyl methacrylate to produce a copolymer containing ester linkages in the backbone of the addition polymer representing nearly quantitative ring opening. Both theincreased stability of the ring-opened radical and the increase in steric hindrance to direct non-ring-opened polymerization are believed to promote the extentof free radical ring opening during polymerization.
