Abstract
1H NMR in situ studies of the initial processes involved in the cationic bulk homo‐ and copolymerization of trioxane indicate that the historically termed “induction period” has a kinetic rather than thermodynamic origin. The generation of cyclic acetals takes place through a process kinetically equivalent to insertion rather than back‐biting. The roles played by H2O, formaldehyde, tetraoxane and trioxepane have been further clarified.Keywords
