Summary
Vinylchloride can be polymerized in THF by t-butylmagnesiumchloride as an initiator. Polymers obtained are free of carbon double bonds. Leading t-butyl as well as terminating -CH2-CH2Cl have been identified as end groups by C-13 nmr spectroscopy. According to the monomer/initiator ratio oligomers as well as high polymers have been prepared.
