New polymers containing spiroorthocarbonate units on the main chain were synthesized and characterized. The polymers were prepared by using redox or free‐radical catalysts in solution polymerization of 3,9‐dimethylene‐1,5,7,11‐tetraoxaspiro [5,5] undecane [or simply called bimethylenespiroorthocarbonate (BMSOC)] and dithiols at lower temperatures. Their spiroorthocarbonate units could undergo hydrolysis in acidic conditions at room temperature. The structure of polymers was investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H‐ and 13 C‐NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The kind of dithiols had a remarkable effect on properties of the polymers. Block polymers obtained from BMSOC and dithiols could result in a better combination of properties. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
