Abstract

Deuterated isopropyl vinyl sulfides and diethyl fumarate were synthesized and employed in a re-investigation of the mechanism of initiation of spontaneous polymerization of these comonomers by means of spin-trapping/ESR spectroscopy. Previous radical spin-trapping studies had been interpreted as indicating the involvement of vinyl radicals. While our studies produced data substantially in agreement with the previous study, it must be noted ...
