Isoprene was polymerized in batch reactors by use of bottle polymerization techniques at 20°, 30°, and 40°C at concentrations from 1 to 5 molar. Isoprene and n‐butyllithium conversions and molecular weight distributions were determined for different reaction times. Rate equations for the initiation and propagation reactions are presented. The importance of the association reactions in obtaining a narrow molecular weight distribution is illustrated.
