Abstract:
The polymerization and copolymerization of 4‐vinylcatechols, such as 2‐(0‐methyl)‐4‐vinylcatechol (I), 3,4‐dimethoxystyrene (II), and 3,4‐methylenedioxystyrene (III), were investigated in cyclohexanone at 30°C, using tri‐ n ‐butylborane as an initiator. The reactions yielded vinyl polymers and copolymers. The copolymerization parameters of I–III were determined; their Q and e values were found to be similar to those of styrene and vinylhydroquinone. The copolymerization of I–III gave copolymers of a highly alternating character. The thermal stability of the polymers and copolymers so obtained was also studied. The redox potentials of hydroloyzed poly(I) were examined; the reverse “polymer effect” was observed.
