Chapter 30, Problem 30.8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for the conversion of acrylonitrile (CH2=CHCN) to polyacrylonitrile, [CH2CHCN]n, using butyllithium (BuLi) as the initiator and CO2 as the electrophile to terminate the chain is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The simpler units which combine to form polymers are known as monomers. The process by which respective monomers combine to form polymers is known as polymerization.

The reaction of p-cresol with CH2=O resembles the reaction of phenol (PHOH) with CH2 = 0, except that the resulting polymer is thermoplastic but not thermosetting. Draw the structure of the polymer formed, and explain why the properties of these two polymers are so different. CH3 OH + CH2=0 p-cresol
