Criticism of hypotheses by Gandini and Cheradame regarding the initiation of carbocationic polymerization

Abstract

In the framework of their review of carbocationic initiation of olefin polymerization Gandini and Cheradame have hypothesized that carbocationic blocking and grafting of alkenes in the presence of Friedel-Crafts acids may also proceed by an “onto” mechanism and not by a “from” process suggested by Kennedy et al. A wide battery of facts and recently generated information substantiate the blocking and grafting from mechanisms and refute Gandini and Cheradame's onto hypothesis.
