Abstract

Copolymers of phenylvinylene carbonate with styrene and p‐chlorostyrene are readily prepared with radical initiators. The carbonate portion of the copolymers has been hydrolyzed to a 1,2‐glycol which was then oxididatively cleaved with periodate–perman‐ganate to produce a polymer with carboxyl and keto endgroups. Block copolymers were then prepared by conversion of the carboxyl groups to an acid chloride, followed by coupling with diols or a diamine.
