An object of the invention is to provide a process for producing an ether (co)polymer in which molecular weight control is easy and post treatment of the reaction liquid after polymerization (solvent recovery, etc.) is easy; a chain transfer agent to be used in the production process; and an ether (co) polymer obtained according to the production process. The process for producing an ether (co) polymer of the invention is characterized in that an ether monomer is polymerized in a solvent, in the presence of a catalyst comprising a condensate of an organotin compound and an alkyl phosphate, and a chain transfer agent comprising, as the major ingredient thereof, an aliphatic polyalcohol of the following general formula (I), thereby producing an ether (co)polymer. Cx(OH)yHz. In the formula, X indicates an integer of from 2 to 8; Y indicates an integer of from 2 to (2X+2); Z indicates an integer of 2X+2−Y; and the hydroxyl groups are bonded at any positions.
A process for producing an ether (co)polymer, wherein an ether monomer is polymerized in a solvent, in the presence of a catalyst comprising a condensate of an organotin compound and an alkyl phosphate, and a chain transfer agent comprising, as the major ingredient thereof, an aliphatic polyalcohol of the following general formula (I), thereby producing an ether (co)polymer:
A process for producing an ether (co)polymer, wherein an ether monomer is polymerized in a solvent immiscible with water, in the presence of a catalyst comprising a condensate of an organotin compound and an alkyl phosphate, and a chain transfer agent comprising, as the major ingredient thereof, an aliphatic polyalcohol of the following general formula (I), then the obtained reaction mixture is separated into an ether (co)polymer and a liquid component, and thereafter the liquid component is purified according to a water extraction method, and the solvent is recovered:
