Summary

The article presents preliminary results of the anionic polymerization of 2-ethylhexyl- and butyl acrylates initiated by ester enolate in the presence of Li 3-methylpentoxide-3. Compared with the Li t-butoxide which has been widely used earlier, this alkoxide is a more efficient stabilizer of active centers. Under selectively chosen reaction conditions, polymerizations of both monomers proceed quantitatively with a small extent of the selftermination event at-40 and-20°C producing polymers with narrow MWD's.
