The living cationic sequential block copolymerization of isobutylene (IB) with tert-butyl vinyl ether (tBVE) was studied using a one-pot procedure in hexanes/CH2Cl2 and hexanes/CH3Cl solvent systems at −80 °C. It was carried out by the so-called capping-tuning technique, involving the capping of living PIB chain ends with 1,1-ditolylethylene (DTE) followed by addition of titanium(IV) isopropoxide (Ti(OIp)4) to lower the Lewis acidity before the introduction of tBVE. Homopolymerizations/model block copolymerizations of tBVE were carried out using 2-chloro-2,4,4-trimethylpentane (TMPCl) instead of living PIB. The living nature was exhibited by the linear plots of ln([M]0/[M]) vs time and number average molecular weight (Mn) vs conversion. 13C NMR spectroscopy indicated that the PtBVE is highly isotactic with close to 80% meso dyads. Well-defined PIB-b-PtBVE diblock copolymers were synthesized by the living cationic polymerization of IB followed by capping the living PIB ends with DTE and fine-tuning the Lew...
