This paper describes a new ring‐opening‐closing alternating copolymerization (ROCAC) of 2‐methyl‐2‐oxazoline (five‐membered cyclic imino ether, 1 ) with N ‐methyldiacrylamide ( 2 ). The reaction of a 1 : 1 monomer feed ratio proceeded without any added catalyst to give an alternating copolymer 3 having two structural units formed by ring‐opening and ring‐closing (cyclization). The structure of copolymer 3 was determined by 1 H, 13 C NMR, and IR spectroscopies. The extent of cyclization was at most 65%. The copolymerization was reasonably explained by a mechanism of propagation via zwitterion intermediates.
