Summary: N , N ‐Diphenylacrylamide was polymerized in a living fashion with triisobutylaluminum in THF at 0 °C. The polymerization results showed an increase of molecular weight proportional to the amount of monomer consumed and a first‐order kinetics at −78 °C. The intermediates obtained with excess initiator at −78 °C revealed that the polymerization was initiated through 1,4‐addition of hydride from a triisobutyl group in the triisobutylaluminum and then proceeded through aluminum‐oxygen bond interchange.N , N ‐Diphenylacrylamide was polymerized in a living fashion with triisobutylaluminum in THF at 0 °C.
