Abstract

2,2'-Azobis([2-^(13)C]propionitrile) (1) was prepared in 35% overall yield starting from [^(13)C]-acetaldehyde (99 atom %). Quantitative ^(13)C NMR analysis of end groups in styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers prepared with 1 as initiator allows determination of the relative rates of addition of these olefins to the 1-cyanoethyl radical. We have found k_A/k_s = 0.12 ± 0.03, a result consistent with the penultimate model treatment of this copolymerization system by Hill, O'Donnell, and O'Sullivan.
