The anionic polymerization of methylidene malonate 2.1.2. is able to yield
four different molecule types. The major product obtained at pH 5.5 corresp
onds to a trisubstituted cyclohexanone formed by a back-biting reaction. A
mixture of four diastereoisomer couples due to the presence of three asymme
tric carbon atoms was produced in the same proportion. These results were d
educed from mass spectrometry (MS), liquid chromatography-MS (LC-MS) and H-
1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigations. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scienc
