Preliminary-Analysis of the C-13-NMR Spectrum of Poly(3-Vinyl Furan)
Poly(3-vinyl furan) was synthesized in bulk by free radical initiation. The polymerization was quite sluggish with long polymerization times resulting in relatively low yields of product. The 75.5 MHz C-13-NMR spectrum could be analyzed in terms of stereochemistry even though signal/noise ratios were not optimum. The analysis indicates that poly(3-vinyl furan) (3VF), synthesized by free radical initiation, is an atactic polymer.
