Case of an acid-free cationic polymerization of alkenes. An efficient preparation of poly-β-pinene in hexafluoroisopropanol medium

An unprecedented capacity of hexafluoroiso-propanol to serve both as a sole proton source and polar medium in the cationic polymerization of β-pinene is disclosed. The elaborated procedure is simple-to-operate; it furnishes the respective polymer in a nearly quantitative yield.
