Abstract

The hexafunctional initiator C₆[(CH₂)₂p-C₆H₄CH(Cl)Me]₆ is synthesized by Fe(η-C₅H₅)⁺ induced hexabenzylation of C₆Me₆ followed by regiospecific acetylation, NaBH₄ reduction and chlorination, and allows the living cationic polymerization of styrene which yields hexaarm star-shaped polymers.
