Latex‐supported catalysts for the autoxidation of thiols, 1. Use of ionene‐based macromonomers

Abstract

2,4-Ionene was prepd. from 1,4-dibromobutane and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, and then treated with (chloromethyl)styrene to give styryl-terminated macromonomer. The macromonomer was polymd. with styrene to give latexes that had high catalytic activity in the autoxidn. of 2-mercaptoethanol
