Abstract

AbstractThe living polymerization of methyl methacrylate with aluminium porphyrin (1) proceeded dramatically rapidly at room temperature in the presence of sterically crowded organoaluminium compounds such as methylaluminium ortho‐substituted diphenolates (3a − 3g), bis(triphenylmethanolate) (4a), and triphenylaluminium, where undesired reaction between the growing species and the Lewis acids was sterically suppressed. On the basis of this Lewis acid ‐ assisted high‐speed living polymerization, various monomers such as ethyl, propyl, butyl, and dodecyl methacrylates, methacrylonitrile, and 1,2‐epoxypropane were polymerized very rapidly with the aluminium porphyrin ‐ Lewis acid systems.
