Polymerization of chlorophenyl glycidyl ethers. VIII. Initiation of the polymerization of p-chlorophenyl glycidyl ether and phenyl glycidyl ether by the system aluminum isopropoxide and zinc chloride (1:1)

Labeled aluminum alcoholate was used to determine the content of end groups of polyethers formed in polymerization reactions initiated by the system Al(OiPr)₃ + ZnCl₂ (1:1). The polymerization process proceeded in several successive stages. Polymerization initiation and propagation mechanisms were proposed.
