## Abstract The free‐radical copolymerization of 4‐vinyl pyridine (4‐VP) with methyl acrylate (MA) initiated by __p__‐acetylbenzylidene triphenylarsonium ylide at 60 ± 0.1°C with dioxane as an inert solvent yielded random copolymers. The kinetic equation was __R__~__p__~ ∝ [Ylide]^0.83^[4‐VP]^0.33^
