140. True-anionically derived random copolymers of MMA and styrene are not possible because the methyl methacrylate anion does not efficiently attack styrene (see: Graham, R. K.; Dunkelberger, D. L.; Goode, W. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1960, 82, 400-403); however, copolymers produced by anionic initiation have been reported (see: Landler, I. J. Polym. Sci. 1952, 8, 63-72 and O'Driscoll, K. F.; Tobolsky, A. V. J. Polym. Sci. 1959, 37, 363-368). For a more complete discussion of this topic, see: Morton, M. Anionic Polymerization: Principles and Practice; Academic Press: New York, 1983: pp 140-142.

152. 1H NMR. The peaks at δ ∼4.1 and ∼4.35 ppm are unrelated to MMA; they are also observed in homo styrene polymerizations. The δ ∼4.1 ppm resonance was shown to arise from a contaminant, 1,1-diphenylethane. For the above assignments, see: Charleux, B.; Rives, A.; Vairon, J.; Matyjaszewski, K.
