Notes:
Star-type polystyrenes, polymers with p branches attached to a common multifunctional center, and comb-type polystyrenes, polymers with an average of p branches attached at random to a polymeric backbone, have been prepared by the reactions, respectively, of polystyryllithium of narrow chain length distribution with appropriate p-functional molecules or with backbone polystyrene chains of narrow chain length distribution, containing the prerequisite number of benzylic-type chloromethyl groups. The synthesis, isolation, and characterization of these types of polymers are illustrated by specific examples. Problems which are inherent to the system, e.g., metal-halogen interchange reactions, different reactivities of the chloromethyl groups, isomerization of the polystyryllithium, and other possible reactions and their consequences are discussed.
