ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE POLY-DIISOPROPENYL BENZENE SYNTHESIS It has been unexpectedly found that meta-diisopropenyl benzene can be polymerized into poly-m-diisopropenyl benzene with a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution and with only a small degree of crosslinking (gel formation) if done in the presence of at least one alpha-olefin containing from 2 to 12 carbon atoms in tetrahydrofuran (solvent) at low temperatures employing an alkyl lithium initiator. The poly-m-diisopropenyl benzene produced by employing this technique has an isopropenyl moiety on almost every diisopropenyl benzene repeat unit in the polymer. This polymer is particularly useful since its pendant isopropenyl groups can be further reacted with other compounds leading to polymers with various functionalities. This technique can also be employed in the synthesis of copolymers containing repeat units derived from meta-diisopropenyl benzene and one or more other monomers. The copolymers synthesized using the process of this invention contain an essentially quantitative number of unreacted isopropenyl groups on the meta-disisopropenyl benzene repeat units in the polymer chain.
