Terminally mono- and bifunctional monodisperse poly (vinyl ethers) I—III, carrying malonic ester, its sodium salt, or the corresponding carboxylic acid as terminal function X, were synthesized by living cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers by the hydrogen iodide/iodine initiating system [CH3CH-(OCH2CH2X)-(CH2CH (OR))„-OCH3 (I), H-(CH2CH (OR))„-X (II), CH3CH (OCH2CH2X)-(CH2CH (OR))„-X (III)(X= CH (COOC2H5) 2, CH (COONa) 2, CH2COOH; R= CH3, CH2CH (CH3) 2)]. The backbone polymers were hydrophilic poly (methyl vinyl ether) and lipophilic poly (isobutyl vinyl ether). Two methods were employed for the synthesis of the monofunctional malonate-capped polymers:(1)(for type I) living polymerization of vinyl ethers initiated by a vinyl ether-hydrogeniodide adduct CH3CHIOCH2CH2CH (COOC2H5) 2 (a functional initiator) in the presence of iodine; and (2)(for type II) end-capping ofliving poly (vinyl ether), obtained by the hydrogen iodide/iodineinitiating system, with the malonate anion~ CH (COOC2H5) 2. Combination of the two methods gave telechelic malonate polymers of type III. The malonic ester terminals of I—III could be transformed into the corresponding carboxylic acids by base-catalyzed hydrolysis followed by decarboxylation. The end functionalities of these mono- and bifunctional polymers were close to 1 and 2, respectively, according to NMR analysis and/or conductometric titration.
