Abstract:Isopropenyl methyl ketone was polymerized with y-ray radiation and with phenylmagnesium iodide in toluene. The polymers obtained with phenylmagnesium iodide as catalyst were separated into methyl ethyl ketone-soluble and -insoluble p a t s . The soluble parts were amorphoas, while the insoluble parts were crystalline.Treatment of the polymers by heat, alkali and chlorinated solvents induced aldol condensation. It was confirmed by infrared and ultraviolet spectrometry that the crystalline polymer underwent aldo… Show more
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.
