Description

2-Phenyl-1-propene stabilized with TBC is a monomer that is used in the production of cationic polymers. This polymer undergoes a free radical polymerization process, which requires a catalyst to initiate the reaction. The most commonly used catalyst for this process is an organometallic compound, such as titanium tetrachloride (TTC) or zirconium tetrachloride (ZTC). The kinetic data of this reaction show that the monomer reacts with two equivalents of TTC or ZTC. The reaction mechanism involves an initial addition reaction between TTC/ZTC and the hydroxyl group on 2-phenyl-1-propene, followed by a subsequent insertion reaction between the methyl ethyl group on 2-phenyl-1-propene and the nitrogen atom on TTC/ZTC. This process produces a stable cationic polymer that can be used in clinical pathology and carcinogenesis studies.
