Notes:
Among the methods to introduce functional groups in macromolecular compounds, the initiation of free radical polymerization by functional peroxyesters was investigated. m- and p-tert-butyldioxycarbonylbenzoic acids (3 and 8) were synthetized and their properties were studied. Differential scanning enthalpimetric study of the thermolysis kinetics of 3 and 8 led to the conclusion that these compounds are a little more stable than O,O-tert-butyl hydrogen monoperoxyphthalate (1). Thus, they could be applied under similar conditions. Solution and bulk polymerizations of styrene initiated by 3 or 8 were found to be efficient methods to obtain polystyrene substituted by carboxylic functions.
