COPOLYMERIZATION PROCESS OF TRIPHENYLMETHYL METHACRYLATE AND MMA WITH CHIRAL ANIONIC COMPLEX INITIATOR

摘要

The copolymerization process of triphenylmethyl methacrylate (TrMA) and methylmethacrylate (MMA) using chiral anionic complex initiator (-) SP-FlLi (Scheme 1) has beenstudied in toluene and THF, respectively. The copolymer obtained in toluene possessed muchhigher specific rotation than that in THF. These copolymers have shown a tendency to a random and a like alternating structure, respectively.
