Abstract

A method for preparing ester end-capped polyalkylene ether is disclosed. Cyclic ether monomers are subjected to ring-opening polymerization at a temperature of 10.degree.-80.degree. C. and a pressure of 0-10 atm in the presence of a solid acid of a mixed oxide of group III and group IV elements serving as catalyst and a mixture of acid and acid anhydride serving as molecular weight moidifier. The group III and group IV elements used should have a Ho index of +3.0 to -10.0.
