Popis: The polymerizations of 2-methyl-2-butene (2M2B) were carried out by various cationic initiators in different media at 30°C. All these polymerizations generate oily oligomers of rather low degrees of polymerization (3–5). Evidences from i.r. and 1H n.m.r. show that the oligomer chain contains structural units derived from both 2M2B and 2-methyl-1-butene (2M1B), which indicates that 2M2B isomerizes partially to 2M1B during the polymerization. The unsaturated endgroups also arise from chain transfers of both 2M2B and 2M1B growing carbocations by proton-elimination. The reaction carried out in toluene fails to produce any polymer or oligomer but generates an adduct of 2M2B and toluene by Friedel-Crafts alkylation.
