Studies of the boron-fluoride-catalyzed reaction of ethylene oxide with simple alcohols and low molecular weight polyglycols indicate three ways in which chain growth could occur, but only one of these is considered to be important after the initial stages of polymerization. The rate of disappearance of monomer reaches a maximum at a molecular weight of about 400. A mechanism is proposed to account for both polymerization and depolymerization and it is shown how equilibrium between these two reactions could result.
