Remarkable enhancement of reactivity of carbonyl compounds for polymerizations with non-activated aromatic hydrocarbons

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2004-03-25 DOI: 10.1039/B317108F

Abstract

Reaction of carbonyl compounds bearing electron-withdrawing substituents with non-activated aromatic hydrocarbons proceeds selectively in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFSA) at room temperature to give linear, high-molecular-weight polymers.
