synopsis 2-Aryl-and Zalkyl-Zoxazolines have been polymerized to poly-(N-aroy1)aziridnes and poly(N-acyl)aziridines, respectively, in the presence of boron trifluoride. The polymers obtained were glassy, light yellow resins with molecular weights ranging from 3500 to 7500 (35-50 oxazoline units per chain). The polymerization rates have been determined for several of these monomers. A polymerization mechanism is proposed.Recently it was shown that a number of exo-imino cyclic compounds such as ethylene iminocarbonates (I) and 2-iminotetrahydrofuran (11) undergo a Received December 22, 1965 Prod.
