Abstract
Tautomerism of nucleic acid bases was applied to a new type of polycon densation which was achieved by dehydration of hydroxyethyl purines an d pyrimidines or dehydrochlorination of chloroethyl purines and pyrimi dines to give polyethers and polythioethers containing purine and pyri midine bases in the main chain. The polymer was found to be decomposed to the monomer under acidic and basic condition.
