Notes:
The keto/enol tautomeric constants of vinyl acetoacetate (1) were determined in various solvents. The tautomeric constants are significantly affected by the solvents, and the ketonic form is predominant in polar solvents. Regression analysis of the tautomeric constants with solvatochromic parameters gives a good linear correlation, taking into account, as major factors, polarity and hydrogen bond acceptor basicity of the solvent. The equilibria depend also on concentration and temperature. Copolymerization of 1 (M1) and styrene (M2) was carried out in benzene and acetonitrile. Monomer reactivity ratios were obtained as r1 = 0,08 and r2 = 9,36 in benzene, and r1 = 0,07 and r2 = 9,88 in acetonitrile. Q and e values of 1 were calculated to be 0,069 and -0,26 for copolymerization in benzene, and 0,062 and -0,19 for that in acetonitrile. Thus, the polymerization and copolymerization of 1 are not influenced by the solvents.
