Poly(oxyalkylene) synthesis in Brønsted Acid Ionic Liquids

Abstract

The polyetherification of diols with 4–12 methylene units was studied in Brønsted Acid Ionic Liquids (BAILs). High molar mass poly(oxyalkylene)s were obtained at relatively low temperatures (130 °C), except in the cases of 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol where cyclic ether formation was observed.
