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. Draw a stepwise mechanism that illustrates which H must be intramolecularly abstracted to form butyl substituents. b. Suggest a reason why the abstraction of this H is more facile than the abstraction of other H's.
(a) Which monomer is most likely to undergo anionic polymerization? Justify your choice.
( b)Which one ismost likely to undergo cationic polymerization? Justify your choice.
Propylene forms only oligomer under normal free radical conditions, yet the monomer forms high-molecular-weight polymer if it is polymerized while trapped in the channels of a crystalline host substance such as urea or thiourea. Explain [G. Di Silvestro, P. Sozzani, and M. Farina, Polym. Preprints, 27(1), 92, 1986].
