Alkylaluminum dichloride–ether complexes which are fully soluble in hydrocarbons as catalysts for the synthesis of exo-olefin terminated polyisobutylene at room temperature

Abstract

Highly reactive polyisobutylenes with a desirable low <italic>M</italic>_n were obtained with RAlCl₂ × OⁱPr₂ initiating systems with high monomer concentrations at room temperature.
