Palladium catalysed copolymerisation of ethene with alkylacrylates: polar comonomer built into the linear polymer chain.
Copolymerisation of ethene and alkylacrylates is catalysed by palladium modified with di(2-methoxyphenyl)phosphinobenzene-2-sulfonic acid (DOPPBS); a linear polymer is produced in which acrylate units are incorporated into the polyethylene backbone.
