Abstract:
Nitroxide mediated free radical polymerization (NMRP) was used for the preparation of orthogonally protected block copolymers based on para-hydroxystyrene. The polymers have a low polydispersity and an active chain end. By a series of polymer analogous reactions, a partly deprotected block copolymer was synthesized consisting of a block with unprotected phenolic OH groups and a further block which is protected by the thermolabile Boc group.
