Functionalization reactions of poly(styryl)lithium (Mn = 1.9 × 103 g/mol) with styrene oxide formed the corresponding hydroxyl-functionalized polymer in 85% yield: the other products were the nonfunctional polymer (9%) and a dimer fraction (6%). The reaction of poly(butadienyl)lithium (Mn = 1.7 × 103 g/mol) with 4-morpholinecarboxaldehyde produced a dimeric product in 73% yield in contrast to quantitative aldehyde functionalization for poly(styryl)lithium. The reaction of poly(styryl)lithium (Mn = 2 × 103 g/mol) with 3-chloro-1-dimethylaminopropane provided the amine-functionalized polymer in only 40% yield: the other products were the nonfunctional polymer (52%) and a dimer fraction (8%). Butyllithium-initiated alternating copolymerization of isoprene and 1-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-1-phenylethylene in benzene with tetrahydrofuran (5 vol%) produced a copolymer (Mn = 10 × 103 g/mol; Mw/Mn = 1.02) with an average of 53 amine groups per chain and 85% 3,4-microstructure.
