Thermal reactions of alkali salts of 4‐(1‐bromoethyl)benzoic acid in bulk were investigated. These reactions were found to produce unexpectedly the graft copolymer, poly(4‐vinylbenzoate)‐ graft ‐oligo(oxycarbonyl‐1,4‐phenylenethylidene) ( 1 ). The relative reactivity of the oligocondensation as well as the vinyl polymerization of the salts decreased in the following order: K > Na > Li. The reaction polymerization rate proceeded rapidly during the initial 15 min, and then slowed down.
