Abstract

Summary Rapid living carbocationic polymerization of p-methylstyrene pMeSt is readily induced by a variety of esters i.e., cumyl acetate (CumOAc), cumyl propionate (CumOPr), l(2,4,6trimethylphenyl)ethyl acetate (TMePhEtOAc) and l(4-methylphenyl)ethyl acetate (pMePhEtOAc) in the presence of BC~ in CHIC1 and C2HsCI solvents at -30 ~ and -50~ using both the IMA and AMI techniques. The Mn versus WPmMeSt plots are horizontal, indicating truly living kinetics% T~e molecular weight distributions are rather broad (Mw/M n = 2-5) suggesting slow initiation and/or slow exchange between dormant and living species relative to propagation.
