| Abstract: | The copolymerizations of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, methyl vinyl ketone, acroleine, and acrylic acid with butadiene were carried out in the presence of the Lewis acids ZnCl2, BF3, CH3AlCl2, C2H5AlCl2, AlCl3, SnCl4, and TiCl4 and also in the absence of catalyst. Relative reactivity orders of the above polar vinyl monomers in the copolymerization and 1,4-cycloaddition reactions with butadiene and also the catalytic activity orders of Lewis acids in these reactions were determined. The composition of the polymers formed and the structure of their butadiene units were also determined. The mechanism of the copolymerization and 1,4-cycloaddition of the polar vinyl monomers with butadiene in the presence of Lewis acids is discussed. |
