Abstract The bulk polymerization of 2‐allylphenylacrylic ester and of 2‐allylphenylmethacrylic ester at 60–80°C. was studied. It was observed that under these conditions azobisisobutyronitrile, lauroyl peroxide, and benzoyl peroxide have satisfactory activity as initiators. The influence of atmospheric oxygen on AOAF and MOAF polymerization was proved. The peculiarities of AOAF and MOAF polymerization (low molecular weight of the soluble polymers which are formed, the absence of gel effect, relatively low critical conversions) may be explained on the basis of chain transfer reactions by the allylic groups.
