β¦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the addition reaction between butyllithium and diisopropenylbenzene (DIB) were investigated in non-polar solvents. It has been established that the two double bonds of meta-DIB are almost isoreactive, as expected; for the para-isomer however the first addition is faster than the second. The overall rate of reaction is also greater for para-DIB, This kinetic study is of great use, since the diadduct behaves as an efficient bifunctional anionic initiator which can be used in non-polar solvents.
