Question:

Although propylene can be polymerized with a free-radical initiator, the molecular weight of the polymer is never very high by this method because chain transfer from the methyl group of propylene monomer keeps the chains short. Draw the structures of the products of this chain transfer. Explain why this chain transfer occurs so easily.
