✦ Synopsis


4-Hydroxystilbene (HOS) is at 60 Β° about 300 times as reactive as methyl methacrylate (MMA) towards the benzoyloxy radical; the factor is even larger for the reactions with the 4-fluorobenzoyloxy radical. These conclusions have been reached from studies of the end-groups in samples of poly(MMA) prepared using the appropriate aroyl peroxides in the presence of HOS. Benzoyl peroxide labelled with tritium and carbon-14 was used to show that the presence of the derivative of stilbene increases the ratio of benzoate to phenyl end-groups. In the case of 4-fluorobenzoyl peroxide, 19F-NMR was used to compare the number of 4-fluorobenzoate groups attached to MMA units with the number joined to units derived from HOS.

## Abstract **Summary:** Experimental and modeling studies of addition–fragmentation chain transfer (AFCT) during radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of poly(methyl methacrylate) macromonomer with 2‐carbomethoxy‐2‐propenyl __Ο‰__‐ends (PMMA‐CO~2~Me) at 60 °C are reported. T
