SOLVENT EFFECTS IN THE ANIONIC POLYMERIZATION OF ALPHA, ALPHA-DISUBSTITUTED -BETA- PROPIOLACTONES
The effect of solvent polarity on the anionic polymerization rates of (alpha), (alpha)-disubstituted-(beta)-propiolactones was studied. Polymerization of (alpha)-methyl-(alpha)-propyl-(beta)-propiolactone in tetrahydrofuran was a living polymerization. In dimethyl sulfoxide, however, nucleophilic at...
