Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are highly active dilithio initiators prepared from high molecular weight dienes (C≧6) and methods for the preparation of such compounds. These dilithio initiators result in greater control over polymer microstructure and provide useful polymers and oligomers with low vinyl incorporation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition comprising: lithium, a solvent or solvent mixture, and a compound represented by the following formula I: wherein n is 1 or 2. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a catalyst. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the solvent is a nonpolar hydrocarbon solvent. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the solvent mixture is a blend of a nonpolar hydrocarbon solvent and a polar solvent. 5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the solvent mixture comprises about 0.5% by weight to about 5% by weight of the polar solvent. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the lithium is lithium metal. 7. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the catalyst is naphthalene. 8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the catalyst further comprises a lithium alcoholate. 9. The composition of claim 8 , wherein the lithium alcoholate is lithium 2-butanolate. 10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein formula I is beta-farnesene. 11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein formula I is beta-myrcene.
