Abstract
Rates of addition of cyclohexyl radicals to alkenes are measured using the “mercury method”. These rates can be correlated with data of styrene copolymerization. Copolymerization reactivity ratios therefore describe relative reactivities of polymer radicals in addition reactions to alkenes. It turns out that the polymeric benzylic radicals are less selective than the cyclohexyl radicals.
