Abstract
Abstract A method was developed for the large (100 g) scale synthesis of arborescent polystyrenes using acetyl coupling sites. Successive generations of dendritic graft polymers were obtained from cycles of polystyrene substrate acetylation with acetyl chloride and coupling in the presence of LiCl with “living” polystyryllithium chains capped with 2‐vinylpyridine units. The grafting yield for the synthesis of a generation zero (G0 or comb‐branched) arborescent polystyrene under the conditions previously reported for the 10 g scale reactions decreased from 95 to 75% when scaled up to 100 g. The lowered yield was linked to side chain dimerization and deactivation of the macroanions. The modified 100 g scale procedure, using end‐capping of the polystyryllithium with 1,1‐diphenylethylene and the addition of 3–6 equivalents per living end of 2‐vinylpyridine as a dilute solution, eliminated side chain dimerization and provided grafting yields of up to 95%. The large‐scale procedure developed was applied to the synthesis of arborescent polystyrenes of generations up to G2 with low polydispersity indices ( M w / M n ≤ 1.04) and molecular weights increasing in an approximately geometric fashion for each cycle. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
