| Abstract: | Summary
Halogen-free polyisobutylene (PIB) was synthesized by in situ methylation of living PIB using dimethylzinc. Quantitative methylation
of living PIB was achieved within 60 min using a ratio of (CH3)2Zn]/TiCl4]0= 1 without any side reactions. Under similar conditions, living PIB capped with 1,1-diphenylethylene (PIB-DPE+) yielded close to 1:1 mixture of methoxy- and methyl-functionality. By using the ratio of (CH3)2Zn]/TiCl4]0≥ 3, however, quantitative methylation of PIB-DPE+ could be achieved in 120 min without any side reactions as confirmed by spectroscopic and chromatographic analyses.
