Abstract
Polymerization of 3,6-dibromo-9-(2,3-epoxypropyl) carbazole with SnCl4 in the presence of allyl alcohol or acrylic acid has been studied. Th is reaction has proved to be a convenient method of obtaining macromon omers containing allyl or acrylic functional groups. It was shown that both in the presence of allyl alcohol and acrylic acid polymerization proceeds by an activated monomer mechanism. Allyl alcohol and acrylic acid at the initial stage of reaction play the role of starting proto n donor compound. However in contrast to allyl alcohol, acrylic acid i s not totally consumed. Peculiarities of the mechanism of propagation are discussed.
