4-Hydroxystilbene (HOS) is at 60 ยฐ 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) prep

โฆ Synopsis
Benzoyl peroxide, labelled with carbon-14 and tritium, has been used to initiate polymerization of methyl methacrylate; the numbers of benzoate and phenyl end-groups have been compared. The presence of 1,3-diphenylpropene or 1,2-diphenylpropene at low concentration in the polymerizing system increases the proportion of benzoate end-groups because the additive is effective in capturing benzoyloxy radicals. The relative reactivities at 60'C of methyl methacrylate, 1,3-diphenylpropene and 1,2-diphenylpropene towards the benzoyloxy radical are approximately 1, 8 and 28. Very high reactivity of 9-(2-phenylethenyl)-anthracene towards this radical has been confirmed.
