Abstract

Abstract Tri‐n‐butylborane (TBB) was found to be capable of initiating the copolymerization of vinylhydroquinone (VHQ) with maleic anhydride (MAn) and diethyl fumarate (DEF) in cyclohexanone at 30°C under nitrogen. Redox potentials of the VHQ–MAn copolymer obtained were examined. These results, along with spectroscopic data, indicate that the copolymers are of a highly alternating character.
