Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The chain-transfer constants in the telomerization of ethylene and propylene by methyl isobutyrate (Cn) vary relatively slightly with extension of the radical chain length, indicating polar effects in the chain-transfer step in these systems.

  2. 2.

    Nonmonotonic change in Cn with increasing n is found for the propylene-methyl isobutyrate system with a minimum at n=3, which is attributed to rearrangement of the radicals with three monomer units with a 1,5-hydrogen migration from the tertiary carbon atom in the γ position relative to the carbomethoxyl group.
