Summary
5-Methoxy-2-vinylthiophene was synthesized from the corresponding aldehyde. The monomer was polymerized under free radical conditions using AIBN as the initiator. High field 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra of the polymer displayed several resonances that were sensitive to polymer stereochemistry. Analysis of these resonances showed that the polymer had an atactic sterochemistry.
