Abstract
AbstractCompletely soluble linear allyl methacrylate polymers with pendant allyl groups were prepared, in high conversion, by the lithium‐initiated polymerization of allyl methacrylate in tetrahydrofuran. Three reactions typical of olefinic double bonds (i.e., crosslinking with benzoyl peroxide or with azobisisobutyronitrile, vulcanization with sulfur or with sulfur monochloride, and epoxidation with perbenzoic acid) were found to proceed smoothly for the remaining allyl groups in the polymers. In its reactivities toward these reagents the allylic double bond in the polymer compares with the terminal double bond of an olefinic hydrocarbon but is inferior to an internal double bond. Effects of the separations of the pendant allyl groups with inert monomer units by copolymerization are also recognized.
