PVA is prepared by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. Other vinyl ester-derived polymers are sometimes used, with formate, chloroacetate groups instead of acetate. The conversion of the polyesters is usually conducted by base-catalysed transesterification with ethanol:

([C H_{2} C H (O A c)])_{n} + C_{2} H_{5} O H \to ([C H_{2} C H (O H)])_{n} + C_{2} H_{5} O A c

Q. Polyvinyl alcohol is an important polymer. The structure is given below

It is prepared by polymerization of

$C H_{2} = C H - O H$

$C H_{2} = C H - OCOC H_{3}$ , followed by hydrolysis

$C H_{2} = C H - CN$ , followed by hydrolysis

$C H_{2} = C H - COOC H_{3}$ , followed by hydrolysis
