Organic Reaction Utilizing Cycilic Carbonate I. Polymerization of monochloroethylenecarbonate with phenols

The polymerization of title compound (MCEC, I) with phenols led to give corresponding resole type polymer. Phenol and p-methoxyphenol polymer had a relative higher molecular weight and a property of elastomer, but p-chloro-and p-nitrophenol polymer had a lower ones. Also, phenol and p-meth-oxyphenol gave to crosslinking polymer by elongation of reaction period and rising of temperature.
