Poly(isobutylene)<br />

p-Poly(isobutylene)styrene (S-PIB) was synthesized by polymeriz<strong>in</strong>g IB with<br />

the p-(b-bromoethyl)cumyl chloride (34) /(CH 3 ) 3 Al <strong>in</strong>itiat<strong>in</strong>g system <strong>in</strong> CH 3 Cl<br />

at –55 °C, followed by dehydrobrom<strong>in</strong>ation with tert-BuOK [84]. The polymerization<br />

proceeded <strong>in</strong> the absence of cha<strong>in</strong> transfer to monomer. Although term<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

was operational with (CH 3 ) 3 Al, it was apparently slower than propagation<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ce the MWs could be adjusted <strong>in</strong> the 4000–34,000 g mol –1 range by<br />

chang<strong>in</strong>g the [monomer]/[<strong>in</strong>itiator] ratio. Close to complete monomer conversions<br />

could be obta<strong>in</strong>ed with [monomer]/[<strong>in</strong>itiator]
