As we will learn in Section 30.2C, styrene derivatives such as A can be polymerized by way, of cationic rather than radical intermediates. Cationic polymerization is an example of electrophilic addition to an alkene involving carbocations.

a.        Draw a short serment of the polymer formed by the polymerization of A.


b.        Why does A react faster than styrene (C6H5CH = CH2) in a cationic polymerization?
