Notes:
Solvent effects on tautomerism and polymerization of p-vinylbenzoylacetone (1) were studied. 1 exhibits the coexistence of the ketonic and enolic forms (the latter is pedominant), and the tautomeric equilibria shift with the solvents. Multiparametric regression analysis of the tautomeric constants reveals that the equilibria depend on polarity and hydrogen bond donor acidity of the solvents. On the other hand, the polymerization of 1 is not affected by the solvents. The polymerization of 1 conforms to the conventional model (rule of square root). Monomer reactivity ratios r1 = 2,56 and r2 = 0,32 were obtained in the copolymerization of 1 (M1) and styrene (M2) in benzene.
