36. An alkyl lithium compound alone can initiate anionic polymerization of butadiene and isoprene, but the cis-1,4 selectivity is usually poor. For examples, see: A. F. Halasa, D. N. Schulz, D. P. Tate, V. D. Mochel, Adv. Organomet. Chem. 1980, 18, 55-97. See also ref. [2c].
37. 2 (Ln = Sm, Tm, Dy) has been reported to show activity for the cis-1,4 polymerization of isoprene, but complete details, including the regioselectivity (1,4- vs. 3,4-), were not given. See: W. J. Evans, D. G. Giarikos, N. T. Allen, Macromolecules 2003, 36, 4256-4257.
