Notes:
Oxidative polymerization of 2,6-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)phenol (1) was carried out by copperpyridine catalyst. 1 was oxidatively polymerized to yield poly[oxy-2,6-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,4-phenylene] (2) in a similar manner as it has been observed for 2,6-dimethylphenol (3a). 2 is an oily material with a degree of polymerization of 6,2. 1 and 3a copolymerized with similar reactivity to form the copolymer 4 (degree of polymerization 16 to 29). The 3-methyl-2-butenyl groups in the polymer show enough chemical reactivity for an addition of bromine or graft-polymerization.
