Özet

In order to synthesize benzoyl peroxide functionalized polystyrene (PSt), polyisoprene (PI) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), anionic living PSt, PI, and PMMA were allowed to react with an excess amount of 4-(bromomethyl)benzoyl tert-butyl peroxide (BMtB) or bis[3,5-bis(bromomethyl)benzoyl] peroxide (BDBP) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at -78 degrees C. The results indicate that coupling reactions leading to dimers are significant during the reaction. Dimer formation was avoided when the living polystyrene was modified to the alcoholate anion by reaction with ethylene oxide (EO).
