Abstract

AbstractSeveral pairs of cis‐ and trans‐3‐substituted acrylic acids (3SAA) were copolymerized with acrylamide in order to determine the major factors affecting the relative reactivities of geometrical isomers of 1,2‐disubstituted ethylenes (1,2‐DE). The results were that the relative reactivity of cis isomer is larger than that of trans isomer when one substituent is electron‐withdrawing and the other is electron‐donating. The trans isomer is more reactive than the cis isomer when both substituents are electron‐withdrawing. A new method of reactivity comparison of cis‐ and trans‐1,2‐DE is proposed in regard to the inductive substituent constant.
