A novel five-membered cyclic thiocarbonate bearing adamantane moiety, 4,6-dioxatetracyclo-[6.3.1.1.3,10O3,7]tridecane-5-thio (1), was synthesized from 1,2-adamantanediol and thiophosgene in the presence of pyridine. Monomer 1 underwent cationic ring-opening polymerization initiated by triethyl-oxonium tetrafluoroborate (Et3OBF4), methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TfOMe), trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH), and H2O with 2 mol% of boron trifluoride etherate (BF3OEt2) in CH2Cl2 at 30° to afford the polythiocarbonate by isomerization of the thiocarbonyl group into a carbonyl group with selective ring-opening direction. The number-average molecular weight and polydispersity of the polymer obtained by polymerization with H2O/BF3OEt2 were 10 600 and 1.44, respectively. The temperature with 5% weight loss of the obtained polymer was 338°C. Monomer 1 expanded as large as 14% during the polymerization.

The oxidation of alkanes by chromate and permanganate has been found to be greatly accelerated by Lewis acids such as BF3 and AlCl3; reaction occurs within minutes at room temperature in the presence of just a few equivalents of the Lewis acids.
