Polymerization Kinetics

Polymerization is a chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that diverge in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes. Polymerization is generally classified into step-growth and chain polymerization. Polymers are categorized into linear polymer and cross-linked polymers that are produced either by condensation or additional polymerization.

Although chain branching in radical polymerizations can occur by intermolecular H abstraction as shown in Mechanism 28.2, chain branching can also occur by intramolecular H abstraction to form branched polyethylene that contains butyl groups as branches.a.

Suggest a reason why the abstraction of this H is more facile than the abstraction of other H's.
