A well-controlled anionic polymerization of 4-diphenylaminostyrene (DAS) with alkyllithium (RLi) has been achieved for the first time. The nucleophilicity and solubility of RLi, 4-diphenylaminostyryllithium (DASLi), and poly(4-diphenylaminostyryl)lithium (PDASLi) were very important controlling factors. An initiator system of tert-butyllithium (t-BuLi)/N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) in toluene was found to be very effective. In this system, the t-BuLi/TMEDA complex reacts with toluene to form the benzyllithium (BzLi)/TMEDA complex, and this complex initiates the anionic polymerization of DAS. The DASLi/TMEDA and PDASLi/TMEDA complexes have sufficient nucleophilicity and stability as propagating species, without the metalation of toluene, and as a result, living anionic polymerization was achieved. The high molecular weight poly(4-diphenylaminostyrene) (PDAS), synthesized using the RLi/TMEDA system, had a syndiotactic-rich configuration, independent of the polymerization solvent.
