Notes:
4-Nitro-N-vinylphthalimide (4) was synthesized by two different procedures. Compound 4 was not polymerizable or copolymerizable by AIBN. Poly(N-vinylphthalimide) (17) was prepared and partially nitrated at 10-25°C. N,N′-(1,2-Ethanediyl)bis(4-nitrophthalimide) (15) and N,N′-(1,3-propanediyl)bis(4-nitrophthalimide) (16) were prepared by the condensation of the corresponding diamine with phthalic anhydride followed by nitration of the condensation products. 4-Nitrophthalic anhydride was prepared by the hydrolysis of 15. Four styrene-substituted phthalimide monomers were synthesized. These include N-(4-vinylphenyl)phthalimide (25a), N-(4-vinylphenyl)-3-fluorophthalimide (25b), N-(4-vinylphenyl)-3-nitrophthalimide (25c), and N-(4-vinylphenyl)-4-nitrophthalimide (25d). Monomers 25a and 25b were polymerized by freeradical initiator (AIBN), whereas monomers 25c and 25d were not polymerizable or copolymerizable by AIBN due to a strong inhibitive effect exerted by the nitrophthalimide group. Monomers 25c and 25d were cationically polymerized (BF3·OEt2). Monomer 25b and styrene were copolymerized and their reactivity ratios were r1 = 1.7 and r2 = 0.55, respectively. The prepared polymers are useful as backbone polymers for grafting living anionic polymers.
