The spontaneous, thermal reaction of donor olefins with acceptor olefins form a remarkable variety of both small organic molecules and polymers. In the “bondforming initiation theory” proposed by Hall, Jr.’) resonance-stabilizing substituents lead to diradical tetramethylenes which can initiate the copolymerization of donor and acceptor olefins, whereas strong donor and strong acceptor substituents lead to zwitterionic tetramethylenes which can produce a cyclobutane adduct or initiate the cationic homopolymerization of the donor olefin and/or the anionic homopolymerization of the acceptor olefin. This means that the copolymers of strong donor olefins and strong acceptor olefins cannot be obtained through zwitterionic intermediates. For example, the spontaneous reaction of equimolar tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) with ethyl vinyl ether (EVE) affords only a cyclobutane adduct through the intermediacy of zwitterionic tetramethylene intermediates z). However, it occurred to us that the ring-opening polymerization of the cyclobutane adducts derived from strong donor and acceptor olefins would permit access to the copolymers of strong donor and strong acceptor olefins. Since these cyclobutanes are derived from zwitterionic tetramethylenes, they would be able to undergo both anionic and cationic ring-opening polymerizations (Scheme 1).
