Notes:
Cationic graft copolymerizations of bicyclic acetals, 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-glucopyranose (LGTBE) and 1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranose (LGTME), were investigated with macromolecular carbenium ions formed from polymers that contain reactive halogens. Macromolecular complex catalysts formed from chlorosulfonated polyethylene or poly(isoprene-co-chloromethylstyrene) by the action of phosphorus pentafluoride yielded graft copolymers with low proportions (0.6-16%) of poly(LGTBE) or poly(LGTBE-co-epichlorohydrin) branchings. It was found that macromolecular complex catalysts formed from poly(styrene-co-fluoromethylstyrene) or poly(methyl methacrylate-co-fluoromethylstyrene) by the action of boron trifluoride etherate give graft copolymers with high proportions (up to 80%) of poly(LGTBE) or poly(LGTME) branchings. In addition, the model reactions for the graft copolymerization of LGTBE were examined with organic halide-PF5, organic halide-AgPF6, and organic fluoride-BF3·OEt2 catalytic systems, of which the last two indicate that the polymerization is effected by a carbenium ion mechanism.
