Explain why radical polymerization of styrene forms branched chains with 4° carbons as in A, but none with 3° carbons as in B.
In the presence of , 2-methylpropene oxide undergoes chain-growth polymerization such that nucleophilic attack occurs at the more substituted end of the epoxide. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this process, and explain this regioselectivity.
