The cationic polymerization of a-methylstyrene can be initiated by the BCI3/H2O initiating system. Assume the termination reaction occurs only by chain transfer to monomer by b-proton transfer. Draw the complete chemical structure for a poly(a-methylstyrene) containing three a-methylstyrene repeat units that results from this polymerization.
