## Abstract The radical polymerization of a trimer of methyl acrylate was investigated in relation to the __steric hindrance‐assisted polymerization__ of an α‐(substituted methyl)acrylic ester. The trimer can also be regarded as a model of the unsaturated end group formed by the addition‐fragmentat

Abstract
Dimethyl 4‐methyl‐1‐pentene‐2,4‐dicarboxylate (3) and trimethyl 4‐methyl‐1‐octene‐2,4,7‐tricarboxylate (4) are not radically homopolymerizable. Dimethyl 1‐hexene‐2,4‐dicarboxylate (5) polymerizes slowly to yield a small amount of oligomers. Homopolymerization of dimethyl 1‐butene‐2,4‐dicarboxylate (6) affords a high‐molecular‐weight polymer. Radical copolymerization of these methyl α‐substituted acrylates (M~2~) with styrene (M~1~) was carried out at 60°C using AIBN, and the following monomer reactivity ratios were obtained; 3: r~1~ = 0,983, r~2~ = 0,000; 4: r~1~ = 0,938, r~2~ = 0,000; 5: r~1~ = 0,672, r~2~ = 0,119; 6: r~1~ = 0,566, r~2~ = 0,195. The polymerizability of these methyl acrylate derivatives is influenced by the steric effect of the α‐substituents.

Polymerization and copolymerization of methyl a-(2-carbomethoxyethyl)acrylate (MMEA), which is known as a dimer of methyl acrylate, were studied in relation to steric hindrunce- assisted polymerization. The propagating polymer radical from MMEA was detected as a five-line spectrum and quantified by
In the copolymerization of styrene and ~-substituted methyl acrylates the reactivities of the esters towards the styryl radical are influenced by both the steric and the polar nature of the ct-substituent, and, with the exception of ,,-phenyl methyl acrylate, follow a modified Taft equation of the f
