Abstract

p-Vinylbenzyl ethers were prepared by the action of alcoholic base on p-(p-chloroethy1) benzyl chloride. The reaction proceeded successfully for normal and secondary alcohols, but tertiary alcohols and phenols did not give the desired product. These ethers were polymerized to give products which were soft and extensible at room temperature when the ether group was larger than butyl. Xormal alkyl or alkoxyethyl ethers gave polymers ...
