The reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of vinylidene chloride with Me acrylate was investigated at 70°C in benzene. Three benzodithioate chain-transfer agents were synthesized in high yield by a simple and straightforward transesterification method. These dithioesters were successfully used as reversible chain-transfer agents, as demonstrated by the increase of mol. weight with conversion, a relatively low polydispersity index (Ip = 1.5) in comparison with a blank experiment (Ip = 1.9), first-order polymerization kinetics, and efficient chain extension. Nevertheless, a transfer reaction to vinylidene chloride monomer was considered to address the limitations of the RAFT process for this system. Moreover, a retardation effect was noticeable on the kinetics, depending on the structure and concentration of the transfer agent, leading to lower rate of polymerization for lower targeted mol. weights
