Abstract
Polyacetals contain (—CHR—O—) groups in the chain. Like their lowmolecular-weight counterparts, they are resistant to alkalis but not to acids. Macromolecular polyacetals have been known for some time under various trivial names as “modifications” of the corresponding monomers, but their macromolecular nature was first recognized by H. Staudinger. Paraformaldehyde, for example, is a low-molecular-weight poly(oxymethylene), (—O—CH2—) n , with n ~ 6–100. Metaldehyde is an acetaldehyde oligomer, (—O—CH(CH3)—4–6. Paraldehyde is the cyclic trimer of acetaldehyde and trioxane is the cyclic trimer of formaldehyde.
