“…To synthesize new silicon-containing polymers, we focused on 1,3-dioxa-2-silacycloalkanes (Scheme ), which are silicon counterparts of cyclic acetals and have a silicon atom instead of a carbon atom at the 2-position. The syntheses of various 1,3-dioxa-2-silacycloalkanes have been investigated for several decades. − A typical synthetic procedure of 1,3-dioxa-2-silacycloalkanes is the condensation of a diol and a silyl compound such as dimethoxydimethylsilane by an acid catalyst. , Interestingly, it was reported that five-membered monomers form dimers, while six-membered monomers spontaneously polymerize . In addition, seven-membered monomers are generally stable, and eight- or more-membered monomers are significantly less stable unless oxygen or nitrogen atoms or aromatic rings are introduced into the ring .…”

Polymers with silyl ether moieties have been gaining considerable interest due to both the properties derived from silicon–oxygen linkages and the acid-, base-, and fluoride ion-triggered degradability. In this study, 1,3-dioxa-2-silacycloalkanes were demonstrated to function as promising monomers for the synthesis of silyl ether polymers when combined with vinyl ethers and aldehydes in cationic terpolymerization with B(C6F5)3 as a catalyst. Importantly, all three monomers were indispensable for efficient terpolymerization via frequent crossover reactions. For example, a degradable terpolymer with an M n of 29 × 103 was obtained from a six-membered 1,3-dioxa-2-silacycloalkane, 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether, and pivalaldehyde, which was superior to both the silyl monomer homopolymerization yielding a product with an M n of 3.3 × 103 and the inefficient copolymerizations in the absence of the silyl monomer, vinyl ether, or aldehyde. Moreover, the terpolymers likely had ABC-type, pseudo-periodic sequences as a result of frequent and selective crossover reactions. The resulting terpolymers have acetal and silyl ether moieties in the main chain, thus exhibiting acid-, base-, or fluoride ion-triggered degradability. Indeed, the terpolymer with an M n of 29 × 103 was smoothly degraded into a product with an M n of 0.3 × 103 under acidic conditions. The key to the terpolymerization reaction was the reaction of an aldehyde with the silyl monomer-derived oxonium ion to generate a carbocation that can react with a vinyl ether because a vinyl ether does not react with the silyl monomer-derived oxonium ion.
