Abstract

Dihydrocivetone, a macrocyclic ketone, has been found to be a weak initiator of vinyl polymerization. Anhydrous zinc chloride strongly promotes this to form a novel initiating system. Monomers tried successfully are methyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile and α-methylstyrene. The characteristic feature of polymerization of α-methylstyrene differs greatly from those of other monomers and those have been discussed and compared.
