Abstract
Epoxy end-capped oligomers of 1,3-diolefin compounds of Formula I ##STR1## These oligomers are formed by: (a) reacting a 1,3-diolefin compound having 4 to 12 carbon atoms per molecule with a difunctional initiator comprising anionic reactive sites to form an intermediate living oligomer comprising two anionic end groups; and (b) reacting the intermediate living oligomer with a halohydrin compound to epoxidize the two anionic end groups and form the desired oligomer. The oligomers are subsequently reacted with an epoxidizing agent to form a polymer having epoxy-derived linkages at regular intervals along the chain of the polymer.
