A vinyl content modifier composition comprising at least one oxolanyl compound selected from the group consisting of:
- wherein R1 and R2 independently are hydrogen or an alkyl group and the total number of carbon atoms in —CR1R2-ranges between one and nine inclusive;
- R3, R4 and R5 independently are —H or —CnH2n+1 wherein n=1 to 6, and
- wherein at least 60% by weight of the least one oxolanyl compound comprises meso-isomer.
A vinyl content modifier composition consisting of at least one oxolanyl compound selected from the group consisting of:
- wherein R1 and R2 independently are hydrogen or an alkyl group and the total number of carbon atoms in —CR1R2-ranges between one and nine inclusive;
- R3, R4 and R5 independently are —H or —CnH2n+1 wherein n=1 to 6, and
- wherein at least 60% by weight of the least one oxolanyl compound comprises meso-isomer.
