Abstract
Benzaldehyde acetal and its para–susbstituted derivatives are capable of initiating the cationic polymerization of styrene and indene in hexafluoroisopropanol medium under essentially neutral conditions. As a result, polystyrenes carrying diverse functionalities at the α-terminus and having MWD characteristics comparable to those for the products of the conventional non-living cationic polymerization are produced.
