Why does styrene undergo anionic polymerization easily?

Answer»

These polymerizations are initiated by nucleophilic addition to the double bond of the monomer. This nucleophile can be an ion such as hydroxide, alkoxide, cyanide or a carbanion. The carbanion can originate from an organo-metallic species such as an alkyl lithium or Grignard reagent
