1.5-Diethenylnaphthalene compounds and bifunctional primers for anionic polymerization prepared therefrom

摘要

Bifunctional primer naphthalene compounds having the formula:wherein M'' is an alkali metal, preferably sodium or lithium, and R<1 >and R<2 >are, e.g., alkyl radicals, are prepared from corresponding 1,5-diethenylnaphthalene derivatives, and are well suited for the improved anionic polymerization of diene, vinylaromatic and/or (meth)acrylic monomers.
