Macromolecular thiolysis of oxiranes: End-group modification of RAFT prepared homopolymers

Chain end modification of low molecular weight, RAFT-prepared polystyrene and poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) by reaction with a range of small molecule epoxides is described. Two different routes are examined—initial dithioester end-group cleavage yielding the thiol-terminated polymer followed by catal...
