Interestingly, under similar conditions in a mixed solvent of THF-heptane (1/1, v/v) at -78 °C, polyisoprenyllithium was reacted with a,a'dichloro-p-xylene more efficiently to afford a polyispprene with chloromethylphenyl terminus in 91% yield. In this case, the dimer was formed only in 9% yield.
39. Hirao, A.; Negishi, Y. Unpublished results. No polymerization of p-methoxymethylstyrene occurred in THF at -78 °C with each of these anionic initiators including lithium and potassium naphthalenides, s-BuLi. In contrast, the meta isomer was found to undergo anionic living polymerization under the same conditions. For example, poly(m-methoxymethylstyrene) was obtained quantitatively with potassium naphthalenide in THF at -78 °C for 30 min. The observed and calculated values of Mn and Mw/Mn were 10 000,11 000, and 1.08, respectively.

43. A polystyrene having two MMP termini and one bromobutyl terminus was also obtained by reacting polystyryllithium with 3 followed by treatment with a 10-fold excess of 1,4dibromobutane in THF at - 78 °C.
