The anionic polymerization of some alkyl vinyl ketones

Five alkyl vinyl ketones branched β and γ to the vinyl group have been prepared and polymerized by free radical and anionic initiators. The anionic initiators gave rise to crystalline high melting polymers. The lithium initiated polymerization of isopropyl vinyl ketone under some conditions yielded...

Description
Summary:Five alkyl vinyl ketones branched β and γ to the vinyl group have been prepared and polymerized by free radical and anionic initiators. The anionic initiators gave rise to crystalline high melting polymers. The lithium initiated polymerization of isopropyl vinyl ketone under some conditions yielded two types of crystalline polymer. Thermal depolymerization of the crystalline poly isopropyl vinyl ketones obtained from anionic initiators indicated that the polymers contained some linkages in the chains other than those expected from 1,2 addition polymerization.
