Abstract
Mercapto‐16‐crown‐5 was prepared starting from tetraethyleneglycol and 3‐chloro‐2‐chloromethyl‐1‐propene. Radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate was carried out in the presence of mercapto‐16‐crown‐5 as a chain transfer agent to give crown ether‐terminated poly(methyl methacrylate). The end crown group was characterized by IR and ^1^H‐NMR spectra. Sodium cation was selectively extracted by this crown‐containing polymer. The molecular weight of the obtained polymer had influence upon the ability of extraction of sodium cation.
