Role of pka in anionic polymerization

Accepted Answer

pKa is not generally relevant in anionic polymerization; rather, the acidity of the medium is important. For anionic polymerization to proceed, the medium must be sufficiently free of acidic species (such as water, or adventitious traces of acid) to prevent protonation of the anionic chain ends and termination of the growing species.
