Abstract

New syntheses of polyfunctional long-chain compounds were performed by alternating free radical additions of 5-(methoxycarbonyl)-pentyl radical to pails of conjugated olefins. Copolymerization was avoided by a metal salt redox system, which selectively oxidizes the radicals involved. Quantitative data of relative reactivities towards α-methylstyrene, acrylic acid, methyl acrylate, acrylonitrile and maleic anhydride emphasize the nucleophilic character of the 5-(methoxycarbonyl)-pentyl radical. Theoretical and synthetic aspects are discussed.
