Abstract
Eugenol, isoeugenol, safrole and isosafrole when treated with stannic chloride yield polymers with molecular weights of the order of 2000, and when heated at 197° or 236 °C. polymers with molecular weights of the order of 1000. The ease of polymerization of the iso-compounds, which contain a semi-benzenoid conjugated system, is markedly greater than that of the normal compounds, in which such a system is lacking. The polymers are all unsaturated. Polysafrole yields safrole when subjected to pyrolytic distillation.Keywords
