Abstract

The selectivity of the three different double bonds (CIS, TRANS and VINYL) of hydroxyterminated polybutadiene regarding epoxidation was evaluated, using m‐chloroperbenzoic acid in toluene below room temperature (−10°C, −5°C, 0°C and 5°C). To determine the kinetic constants for the three configuratons (k~1,cis~ = (2,59–0,6) × 10^−2^ L · mol^−1^ · min^−1^; k~2, trans~ = (5,35–0,82) × 10^−2^ L · mol^−1^ · min^−1^; k~3, vinyl~ = (0,97–0,01) × 10^−2^ L · mol^−1^ min^−1^), ^1^H and ^13^C NMR was used along with a system of three parallel equations. The activation energy values were also evaluated (E~a, cis~ = 53,9 kJ · mol^−1^; E~a, trans~ = 70,7 kJ · mol^−1^ and E~a~, vinyl = 261,1 kJ · mol^−1^) for the three double bond types.
