ABSTRACT:
It has been unexpectedly discovered that various compounds, such as alkyl tetrahydrofurfuryl ethers, can be used to modify anionic polymerizations of conjugated diene monomers. These modifiers can be used to polymerize isoprene monomer into high 3,4-polyisoprene at excellent polymerization rates. This is in contrast to the modifiers such as tetramethylethylene diamine which are typically used to modify such polymerizations. This invention more specifically discloses a process for the synthesis of 3,4-polyisoprene which comprises polymerizing isoprene monomer in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst system which is comprised of (a) a lithium initiator and (b) an alkyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether modifier, wherein the alkyl group in the alkyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether modifier contains from 6 to about 10 carbon atoms. In the practice of this invention, the utilization of alkyltetrahydrofurfuryl ethers having alkyl groups which contain from 6 to 10 carbon atoms, such as hexyltetrahydrofurfuryl ether, is highly preferred since their use does not results in the creation of odor problems.
