β¦ Synopsis
Polymerization behavior of meta-naphthoquinone methide, 3,4-benzo-6methylenebicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-ene-2-one ( 1), was studied. Radical initiator 2,2-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) induced polymerization of 1, but ionic initiators potassium tert-butoxide, butyllithium, and boron trifluoride etherate did not. Polymerization of 1 proceeded via ring-opening and aromatization to give a polymer with head-to-tail monomer unit placement. Compound 1 copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of AIBN to obtain the monomer reactivity ratios r 1 (1) Γ 0.28 { 0.07 and r 2 (MMA) Γ 0.39 { 0.02 at 60ΠC and Q and e values of Q Γ 1.04 and e Γ 01.03, indicating that 1 is a conjugative and electron-donating monomer. Ring-opening and aromatization of 1 also took place in the copolymerization.
