Abstract

Results The reaction of acetone and styrene with sodium is an exothermic one. In most cases the temperature was regulated between-10'and+ loo, but, if thereaction was allowed to warm up, a reaction ensued which led to polymerization of styrene. To maintain control, acetone that was diluted in solvent was added dropwise to a stirred mixture of styrene in ethereal solution and freshly pressed sodium wire at the requisite low temperatures. ...
