Summary
The synthesis of polyalkylmethacrylate macromonomers has been performed anionically by direct deactivation of the carbanionic sites with p-vinyl-or p-isopropenylbenzyl bromide. The characterization of the samples proved that the yields are close to quantitative, and that no side reactions are involved. The method also applies to hydroxyethylmethacrylate and to glycerylmethacrylate, provided the monomers are made aprotic by reversible silylation or acetalization.
