To simplify the preparation of unsaturated polymers, a new type of divinyl monomer was designed in this article. The double bonds of the divinyl monomer are different not only in reactivity but also in electron density. Based on quantum chemistry calculation, (z)‐4‐(2‐(acryloyloxy)ethoxy)‐4‐oxobut‐2‐enoic acid ( cis ‐AEOEA) was selected as the nonelectron‐donating divinyl monomer in which inactive double bond was electron deficient and can be activated by electron‐donating comonomers by forming charge transfer complex (CTC) copolymerization system. So, cis‐ AEOEA can be used to simplify the preparation of unsaturated polymers and the content of inactive double bonds left in the polymer is controlled by electron‐donating ability of comonomers. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
