Merging Styrene and Diene Structures to a Cyclic Diene: Anionic Polymerization of 1‐Vinylcyclohexene (VCH)

We report the first anionic polymerization of 1‐vinylcyclohexene (VCH). This structure may be considered as an intermediate between dienes and styrene. The polymerization of this cyclic 1,2‐disubstituted 1,3‐diene proceeded quantitatively in cyclohexane at 25 °C with sec‐butyllithium as an initiator...

Zusammenfassung:We report the first anionic polymerization of 1‐vinylcyclohexene (VCH). This structure may be considered as an intermediate between dienes and styrene. The polymerization of this cyclic 1,2‐disubstituted 1,3‐diene proceeded quantitatively in cyclohexane at 25 °C with sec‐butyllithium as an initiator. The obtained polymers have well‐controlled molecular weights in the range of 5 to 142 kg mol−1, controlled by the molar ratio of monomer and initiator, with narrow molecular weight distributions (Đ
