SYNTHESIS OF DILITHIUM ALPHA,OMEGA-DISULFONATED POLYSTYRENE BY ANIONIC-POLYMERIZATION

초록

The chain-end sulfonation of alpha,omega-dilithiopolystyrene prepared by lithium naphthalenide as a difunctional initiator using 1,3-propanesultone was studied by the characterization methodologies such as acid/base titration, colorimetric method using methylene blue, two-phase titration with Hyamine 1622, size exclusion chromatographic analysis infrared, and H-1 NMR spectroscopic analysis. The reactivity modification of alpha,omega-dilithiopolystyrene through the end-capping with 1,1-diphenylethylene prior to the sulfoalkylation in benzene-tetrahydrofuran (THF) (10:1, v/v) at 25-degrees-C with excess 1,3-propanesultone is suggested as a useful method for the preparation of the corresponding dilithium alpha,omega-disulfonated polystyrene in relatively high yield based on the results from the acid/base titration (>85%).
