Synthesis of polymers with hydroxyl end groups by atom transfer radical polymerization
Authors:Veerle Coessens  Krzysztof Matyjaszewski
Abstract:Polymers prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) contain end groups defined by the initiator used. Alkyl halides, used as initiators, lead to polymers with an alkyl group at one end and a halide as the other chain end. Using functionalized initiators such as 2‐hydroxyethyl 2‐bromopropionate, hydroxyl groups can be directly incorporated at one polymer chain end while the other end functionality remains a halogen. The direct displacement of the halogen end groups with hydroxyl groups was unsuccessful due to side reactions such as elimination (for polystyrene) or hydrolysis of ester functions (for polyacrylate). Another approach to generate hydroxyl end groups was based on the substitution of the halogen end groups by ethanolamine. This was successful for polystyrene but additional substitution at the backbone esters was observed in polyacrylates. Multiple substitution reactions could be avoided by using 4‐aminobutanol instead of 2‐aminoethanol. Hydroxyl terminated polyacrylates were also obtained by extending the polyacrylate chain end with one allyl alcohol unit in a one‐pot process by adding an excess of allyl alcohol at the end of e polymerization of acrylate.
