Radical polymerization and copolymerization of someo‐alkylphenyl methacrylates were carried out and the effect of the ortho‐substituents on the ability to homopolymerize, on the monomer reactivities, and on the ceiling temperatures of the monomers was studied. The effect of the substituent on tacticities and thermal stabilities of the polymers formed was also discussed. The ability to honiopolymerize and the monomer reactivity were considerably decreased by the introduction of theo‐substituent. 2,6‐Di‐tert‐butylphenyl methacrylate formed no methanol‐insoluble polymer at 60°C. On the basis of the tacticity determined it was noted that theo‐substituted phenyl methacrylates preferred syndiotactic addition in the propagation reaction less than did phenyl methacrylate or methyl methacrylate. The polymers formed from theo‐substituted monomers were thermally less stable than poly(phenyl methacrylate), and, consistent with this finding, ceiling temperatures of theo‐substituted phenyl methacrylates seemed to be lower than that of phenyl methacrylate. The effects observed were characteristic of theo‐substituents conformationally close to the carbon‐carbon double bond of the monomer or the carbon carrying the unpaired electron of the polymer radical.
