2-(2-chloroethyl)-1 -methylpyrrolidine was dissolved in cyclohexane and reacted with about two molar equivalents of t-butyllithium in pentane in an inert atmosphere including argon or nitrogen. The resulting mixture was agitated gently at room temperature for about an hour. The mixture was allowed to stand overnight and used to initiate the polymerization of butadiene and styrene as described in the following examples.
