✦ Synopsis
The ion-pair propagation rates for isoprene have been determined in tetrahydrofuran with counter-ions lithium and sodium. Because of the instability of the carbonions of diene monomers in this solvent, a parallel spectroscopic study was carried out to check for the occurrence of side-reactions. With Li* counter-ion, the anions were found to be stable up to 0 but with Na +. instability was noticeable even at -40: and may be significant at even lower temperatures. For these reasons, the lithium ion-pair rates show normal bebaviour but those for sodium are difficult to interpret.
