Divinylidene compounds with isolated double bonds of the type are quantitatively transformed into soluble dilithio organic compounds with sBuLi and may be used as bifunctional initiators for the anionic polymerization of butadiene (B) and subsequently styrene ( S ) . Beside the expected SBS block copolymers also SB block copolymers are obtained because of partial termination of the dilithio compounds.By means of GPC analysis of the reaction compounds, i. e., of the homopolybutadiene, the blockcopolymers and the homopolystyrene after oxidative degradation using dual detection it is proved that the bifunctional species because of intramolecular association adds the monomer with significantly lower rate than the monofunctially growing species. Choosing suitable conditions the rate differences may be minimized.
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG:Divinylidenverbindungen mit isolierten Doppelbindungen vom Typ 0 1984 Huthig & Wepf Verlag, Base1 OOO3-3146/84/$03.00 53 T. Bastelberger and H. HBcker lassen sich mit sBuLi quantitativ in losliche dilithioorganische Verbindungen iiberfuhren und als bifunktionelle Initiatoren fur die anionische Polymerisation von Butadien (B) und anschlienend Styrol (S) verwenden. Neben den erwarteten SBS-Blockcopolymeren finden sich infolge partiellen Abbruchs der Dilithiumverbindung auch SB-Blockcopolymere. Durch gelchromatographische Analyse der Reaktionsprodukte auf der Stufe der Homopolymeren und der Blockcopolymeren unter Verwendung eines Dualdetektors lie13 sich feststellen, dal3 die bifunktionelle Spezies infolge intramolekularer Assoziation eine wesentlich geringere Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit aufweist als die monofunktionelle Spezies. Durch Wahl geeigneter Bedingungen lassen sich die Unterschiede minimieren.
Some new divinylidene compounds, 1,3-bis[4-(B-styryl)phenyl]propane (2 b), 1,6-bis[4-@styryl)phenyl]hexane (2d), 2,6-bis(B-styryl)pyridine (1 b), and 1,5-bis@-styryl)naphthalene (1 c), were prepared. Their reaction with electron transfer agents was investigated and compared with that of homologous divinylidene compounds. The cyclic oligomers formed after protonation were separated and characterized spectroscopically. In general, no preferential formation of isomers is observed. The cyclic dimer, however, is the main product of the electron transfer reaction of l b and lc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
