Process for producing a polyoxyalkylene compound

Claim 1

A process for producing a polyoxyalkylene compound, comprising ring-opening polymerizing an alkylene oxide, in the presence of a plural metal cyanide complex catalyst, with an initiator selected from the group consisting of an organopolysiloxane compound, wherein said organopolysiloxane compound is a polymer of a siloxane having at least one organic group bonded thereto and wherein at least one of said organic groups is an organic group having an active hydrogen-containing functional group, and a fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of a compound of one of the following chemical formulae (4) to (8): R.sub.f.sup.1 --R.sup.11 --X.sup.2 (4), R.sub.f.sup.1 --COOX.sup.3 ( 5), R.sub.f.sup.1 --CON(R.sup.14)--X.sup.3 ( 6), X.sup.2 --R.sup.12 --R.sub.f.sup.2 --R.sup.13 --X.sup.2 ( 7) and (R.sub.f.sup.1).sub.t --C.sub.6 --F.sub.5-t --X.sup.2 ( 8) wherein X 2 is an active hydrogen-containing functional group selected from the group consisting of --OH, --SH, --NH 2 , --NHR 14 and --CO 2 H, or a hydrocarbon group having at least one such functional group, X 3 is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having at least one of the above active hydrogen-containing functional groups, R 14 is a hydrogen atom or a C 1-6 hydrocarbon group, R f 1 is a perfluoroalkyl group of at least one carbon atom, R f 2 is a perfluoroalkylene group of at least 2 carbon atoms, R 11 is an alkylene group containing no fluorine atom, each of R 12 and R 13 which are independent from each other, is an alkylene group containing no fluorine atom, and t is 0 or an integer of from 1 to 3.
