Preparation of co-dimers of styrene and p-chlorostyrene with regulated monomer sequences using phosphates

Two co-dimers of styrene and p-chlorostyrene having regulated monomer sequences were obtained by the reactions of 1-(4-chlorophenyl) ethyl diphenyl phosphate with styrene and of 1-phenylethyl diphenyl phosphate with p-chlorostyrene. The structures of the co-dimers were confirmed by GC-MS and analyses of the oxidative cleavage products.
