LIVING AND QUASILIVING CATIONIC TELECHELIC POLYMERS QUENCHED BY N-SUBSTITUTED PYRROLE AND METHODS FOR THEIRPREPARATIONABSTRACTDisclosed is a method of preparing terminally functionalized telechelic polymers using a cationic living polymer product or a terminal tert-chloride chain end of a carbocationic quasiliving polymer product, which comprises quenching the polymer product with an N-substituted pyrrole to thereby functionalize the N-substituted pyrrole at the terminal reactive polymer chain end(s). Also disclosed are the terminal functionalized polyisobuyl N-substituted pyrrole compounds where the polyisobutyl group is subsitituted at the 2 and 3 position of the N-substituted pyrrole.
