Notes:
β-Vinylnaphthalene, 6-chloro-2-vinylnaphthalene, 4-chloro-1-vinylphenanthrene, and 2- and 3-vinylphenanthrenes have been copolymerized with styrene, methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate. All copolymerize well to give products generally softening at higher temperatures than polystyrene of its copolymers. Analysis of the relative reactivities in copolymerization indicates that, with the exception of the single α-vinylnaphthalene derivative, these monomers are more reactive in copolymerization than styrene. This is in agreement with expectations based on the greater possibilities for resonance stabilization of an adjacent free radical by the naphthalene and phenanthrene nuclei.
