The process in which small molecules, called monomers, combine to produce a large molecule, called a polymer is a polymerization reaction. It has mainly two types cationic polymerization and anionic polymerization reaction based on the different types of intermediate formed.The reaction but-1-ene to the BF3/H2O gives a cationic polymerization reaction in which a carbocation intermediate is formed.Mechanism:BF3 and H2O both generates H+.Attack of butene to H+ to give carbocation.Attack of another butene unit to carbocation to give dimer.This resultant dimer is reacted with another n butene unit to give polymer.The dimer of the But-1-ene is:
